What does Camelia smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, Calabrian bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, a bright citrus with a light spicy edge. Camellia, jasmine sambac and clary sage form a floral, green heart, and benzoin and musk soften the base into a creamy sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear, with less call for evenings out. Voters read it as more feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Acqua di Parma Sakura and Ferrari Noble Fig have a close profile.
