Top Notes
Middle Notes
Base Notes
I expected Maya to be quite heavy, but it's not; it's light, flowery, likeable and quite classiccal. Creamy soft flowers and maybe a little resin. Cocoa? Nope. It's a sunny, feminine scent. Not quite 'me' but likeable anyhow. I think it reminds me of Chanel Cristalle, only it's not so overly fresh and tangy as Cristalle.
Quite light and unusual fragrance, a little sweet, floral with sparkling green notes and a strange interesting accent of copahu incense, which gives an outstanding individuality to this scent. Elegant and lovely, not overwhelming.
The design of box is 10/10.
Amo personalmente questo profumo!!!!
Oh my goodness, I think I found one of my all time favorite, never-want-to-be-without perfumes!
Maya is olfactory heaven to me - incense, jasmine, vanilla and cocoa. I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful this scent is, or how good it makes me feel, almost like an aromatherapy happy/sensual/calm/feeling pretty potion.
Maya behaves very much as the top, middle and base notes state. It opens on a delicate - not stuck in a hot church in Mexico strong - Copal incense, which melts elegantly into the Jasmine - not a soapy at ALL,sweet, elegant, soft - with some odd little accords in there that make the copal/jasmine almost edible before they sink a little further into the arms of the vanilla and cocoa.
Nothing "dissappears". The Copal, Jasmine and other notes remain there through the dry down, Maya is a symphony, not a sniff by linear numbers scent.
The lasting power is into the 8 hours and then some, the sillage is close but not a "skin scent", definitely perceptible to any who step into your 1 meter/3 foot diameter personal space.
Maya is gorgeous all around, and I am sure year round, and deserves a 10/10.
Maya is an amazing, delicious fragrance and now its available in USA at www.aquadeluna.com You can even order a sample before you buy it. There is a holiday promotion going on right now, so its a good chance to try it. I personally love this perfume!!!! Its actually smells like raw Mexican chocolate with a hint of vanilla and copal incense, all blended perfectly. Its smells wonderful, kind of sweet and not candy-like chocolate, but exotic sophisticated and not overpowering, Every where i go people always complement me on this fragrance.
