CreamyWhat does Allende smell like?
Allende lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Leisure, a night out and evenings are the most mentioned uses. Most voters read it as feminine, but some find it masculine.
It opens with magnolia and Bourbon vanilla. Cocoa joins in the heart, and the vanilla carries on into the base. The scent stays sweet, creamy and powdery from start to finish, with the floral side coming from the magnolia and the gourmand side gathered in the cocoa and vanilla. Louis Vuitton Contre Moi and Liquides Imaginaires Blanche Bête have a close profile.
