What does Yapana (2013) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evening and leisure wear. Most voters find it feminine.

The first spray is bright with citrus and pepper. The heart brings powder, rose, ylang-ylang and clove into a floral, spiced sweetness. The base of patchouli, labdanum, benzoin and vanilla turns warm, woody and resinous. Téo Cabanel Alahine and Baldi Malachite have a close profile.
