What does L'Etrog smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Most voters pick spring and summer. It leans towards daily wear, leisure time and the office. More voters read it as masculine, though a good number find it feminine.

The opening is bright citrus from citron, lemon and bergamot, with myrtle adding a green edge. In the heart, jasmine, pistachio tree resin and Turkish date soften the florals with a fruity sweetness. The base settles on Lebanon cedar, vetiver and patchouli, a woody, lightly spicy footing.
