What does Contralto smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. It leans towards daytime, leisure and work, while evening and night out come second. Most voters call its character feminine, and some find it modern.

Clove, pink pepper and orange blossom open it with a citrusy, spicy lift. Gaiac wood, juniper and chestnut form a woody heart, and Peru balsam, cashmeran and vanilla sweeten the base into a creamy warmth.
