What does Azalai smell like?

Blood orange and mint come first; saffron and dried fruits in the heart add a spicy, fruity sweetness. The base of frankincense, gum arabic and amber is woody, resinous and faintly smoky.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is favoured for leisure, evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it reads as truly unisex. Parfums de Marly Habdan and Le Couvent Porto Bello have a close profile.
