Signature pair: Clove and Guaiac Wood

In plain words

The main accords of Contralto are woody and white floral. It opens with Orange Blossom and Pink Pepper, reveals Juniper Berries and Guaiac Wood at its heart, and dries down to Cashmeran and Vanilla. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
