Gelsomino Nobile

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall following and winter well behind. Daily wear and leisure lead, while office and evening get votes too. Most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange, then moves into a heart of tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, with pink pepper adding a light spice to the flowers. In the base, musk and cedarwood soften it onto a woody footing. Citrus and green notes keep it fresh, while a sweet, powdery side comes through. Houbigant Orangers en Fleurs and Evody Fleur d'Oranger have a close profile.
