Serenade
Serenade by Navitus Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with orange blossom, cognac and chocolate, moves into honey, beeswax and sandalwood and dries down to vetiver, tonka bean, musk, patchouli and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
- Chocolate Sweet, dusty and rich. Can go milk-bar or dark-and-bitter.
Heart
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Beeswax Honeyed and waxy with a faint barnyard hum underneath.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
