PowderyWhat does Castles in the Air (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits a quiet, close-to-skin scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. Votes for feminine and masculine character are close.
It opens with lemon, bergamot and Paraguayan petigrain, citrusy and green. Ylang-ylang, iris and champaca add a soft, powdery floral heart. Rosemary and lavender finish it on a spicy, herbal note.
