Jasmine Yang

6.8

Anima Vinci · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

In the base, monoï, Peru balsam and vanilla soften everything into a creamy, sweet finish. A synthetic edge sits quietly in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though with few votes behind them that is best read with caution. Its floral, sweet profile reads as feminine.

Brown algae, cedarwood and oakmoss then settle the scent onto a woody, salty base. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is more a tendency than a firm verdict.
