PowderyWhat does Bangkok Shock smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and evenings. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits between the two.
It opens fresh with aquatic notes, petitgrain and citrus. The heart brings Jasminum auriculatum, ylang-ylang, iris and damask rose, with spices adding a light warmth. The base of vanilla, musk and sandalwood settles it into a sweet, powdery, creamy finish.
