What does Shingl smell like?

It opens with bergamot, aniseed, basil and davana, a cool and herbal beginning. In the heart, vetiver, patchouli, rum and iris add a woody, powdery depth. Ambergris, musk and vanilla in the base soften and sweeten it, while the fruity and gourmand sides stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and most voters read it as feminine. Clive Christian L for Women and Chanel Chance (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
