What does Notting Hill Carnival smell like?

The top notes, lime and bergamot, give a citrus freshness. In the heart, ginger, laurel, coriander and pink pepper add a spicy, earthy tone. The base of frankincense, labdanum and leather leaves a woody, leathery and slightly animalic trail.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is positioned as a women's scent and suits those who want citrus freshness alongside the firmness of leather. Bud Parfums If and Zara Oud Vibrant Leather have a close profile.
