What does Bigia smell like?

It begins with passion fruit, saffron and red fruits. The heart builds a floral body from magnolia, musk rose, Bulgarian rose absolute and white orchid. The base holds oud, white oud, musk, amber and sand; the fruity sweetness is joined by gourmand, spicy and slightly animal warmth, ending in a powdery trail.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather. Men and women can both wear it. The vote count is small, so these impressions are not a firm measure. Its profile is close to Worth Courtesan and Serge Lutens Louve.
