WoodyWhat does Mellow Yellow smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters pick it mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office, and less often for evenings or nights out. Winter is the least chosen season. On character, votes split between feminine and masculine, so it doesn't settle on one side.
It opens with green notes, orange and lemon. The heart of orris absolute, orange blossom absolute, carrot seed and clove adds a soft floral and spicy touch. In the base, vetiver, cashmere wood, dry woods and white musk dry it down to a clean, woody finish.
