PowderyWhat does Tanagra (2018) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with fall not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. Voters mostly read its character as feminine, with some calling it modern or classic.
The top pairs the fruity sweetness of pear with the floral lift of freesia and the bright citrus of mandarin orange. In the heart, peony, jasmine and iris add a soft, powdery floral note. Vetiver, cedar and musk underneath keep it woody, calm and clean.
