PowderyWhat does Saso / 沙棗 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
The top is led by lemon, hyacinth, aldehydes and bergamot, with green and fruity notes alongside. In the heart, jasmine, violet, iris and rose carry the floral character. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, benzoin and musk settles into a woody, powdery ground, while civet leaves a faint animal trace.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters split almost evenly across all four seasons, and it is chosen most for daily wear and leisure, with business and evening votes close behind. Le Galion Sortilège and Avon Soft Musk have a close profile.
