WoodyWhat does Essence Emotional smell like?
It opens with bergamot and lily in a fresh, floral entry. In the heart, mango brings a fruity sweetness while ylang-ylang softens the floral side. The base of musk, cedar and vanilla follows: cedar sets a woody, earthy ground, and vanilla pulls the scent towards a gourmand, powdery sweetness. Spicy and oriental tones stay in the background. Rasasi Attar Al Mohabba Male and Jeanne Arthes Guipure & Silk Ylang Vanille have a close profile.
