What does Barbicaja smell like?
Barbicaja's longevity and sillage are both rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. Voters lean towards leisure time most, with daily wear, business, evening and nights out close behind. It doesn't tie itself to one gender and reads as unisex.
It opens with lily of the valley, hyacinth, freesia and green notes, which give a cool, dewy floral feel. In the heart, tuberose, apricot and orange blossom sweeten it. Vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli and vanilla carry the base, drying down warm, spicy and woody.
