What does Sanderling smell like?

It opens with bergamot, gardenia leaf and Indian tagetes, a citrusy, lightly spicy start. In the heart, purple lilac, jasmine and rose give it a floral, powdery face. At the base, vanilla, precious woods and musky notes sweeten it and close it with a woody, oriental warmth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, quite a few choose winter, and summer comes last. It leans towards daily wear and leisure, and also suits evenings and the office. Jil Sander Bath & Beauty and Chanel Coco Noir have a close profile.
