What does Chameleon smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, while mango and starfruit add a juicy fruit note. In the heart, jasmine, frangipani and coconut bring a soft, creamy floral feel, with saffron and clove adding a trace of spice at the edges. It settles into a sweet, woody base of vanilla, sandalwood and amber, with vetiver and musk keeping it grounded.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Parfums d'Elmar Leilani and Skylar Coconut Cove (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
