What does La Colonia smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some choosing it for the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate; the largest share of voters find it masculine, though a good number read it as feminine.

Citrus and aquatic accords carry the freshness, while bergamot, green pepper and dill add a green, lightly spicy edge. Lily of the valley and ozonic notes soften it, and Virginia cedar and Atlas cedar give it a woody base.
