7.4

MariaL · 2011

Fresh · Floral · Green

MariaL Yours Truly / Truly is a unisex scent that sets jasmine, Turkish rose and neroli against a woody base of cedar and sandalwood, with a fresh, green edge; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is said to work from daytime through evening. Most voters still read it as feminine, and some call it classic. The floral side is built from Egyptian and French jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli and Turkish rose, while aldehydes and cyclamen add a fresh, green note. Underneath sit cedar, sandalwood, amber, vanilla and tonka bean, and cassia absolute and civet leave a spicy, animalic trace. The overall feel is powdery, smoky and chypre.
