What does Heartache of the Hùa-Méi smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, work and daily wear. Feminine leads the character votes, though classic and masculine readings are common too.

Citrus and green notes set a bright base, while rose otto and orris root turn it powdery and creamy. Nutmeg and Somalian frankincense add a spicy, lightly smoky, resinous depth. Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume The Hawk and Amouage Meander have a close profile.
