What does Lake Balaton (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

The top is saffron and grapefruit: the citrus comes first, with saffron adding a spicy edge. The heart holds nagarmotha and jasmine, and the aquatic and fruity accords become clearer here. In the base, amber, Haitian vetiver and mossy notes settle the scent into a sweet, creamy ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so that should be read with caution. Some voters also find it good value for money. Its unisex character and cool, citrusy build make it an easy daily wear. Orlov Sea of Light and Memo Paris Winter Palace have a close profile.
