SmokyWhat does Oroville smell like?
It opens with chamomile and clary sage. The heart brings carnation, tobacco, orange blossom and neroli, where the floral and fruity sides meet a sweet, powdery, smoky backdrop. Sandalwood, vanilla and amber settle underneath, adding a woody, oriental warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and evenings and nights out, and the largest share finds it masculine. Parfums de Marly Athalia and Chanel Égoïste (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
