What does Café Cabanel smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and summer is hardly chosen at all. It is favoured most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Though sold as unisex, voters lean towards calling it feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange, coffee and cinnamon: the mandarin adds a brief brightness, while the cinnamon starts the warmth. In the heart, heliotrope, rose, milk and a buttery note give a creamy, powdery softness. Caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean carry the sweetness into a woody warmth in the base, settling with musk.
