What does NGC 6302 smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings come from only a small number of voters. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it is unisex and should sit comfortably on either skin.
It opens with tropical fruits, lemon zest, apple blossom and cardamom. The heart builds a floral body from jasmine sambac, tuberose, osmanthus and narcissus. The base of patchouli, absinthe wormwood and incense adds a green, smoky edge, while the space accord gives it a synthetic sheen. Mariah Carey Forever and Byredo Flowerhead (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
