What does (Shamanilla) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind and summer less favoured. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and can move into evenings or the office. Though marketed for men, voters split almost evenly between masculine, modern and feminine.

Fresh, floral and sweet accords lead. The top is light and airy with coconut water, cardamom and bergamot. Carrot, peach blossom and sandalwood soften the middle. The base of amyris, vanilla cream and cotton candy ends in a creamy, gourmand sweetness.
