What does Malesia (2017) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer clearly the least chosen. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it reads as genuinely in between.

Lily of the valley gives the opening a light floral tone. In the heart, amyris, amber and gurjum balsam build a woody, resinous footing. The base deepens with Laotian and Cambodian oud, labdanum and musk, while tonka bean and vanilla soften it with sweetness. Spicy and animal touches add depth to the warmth.
