What does Florabotanica smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter is the least chosen season. Daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions it gets the most votes for. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and more than half of voters find the longevity high. Voters mostly call its character feminine, followed by modern.

The scent is dominated by a fresh, green, floral feel. Caladium leaf and mint add coolness, while rose and carnation carry the floral side. Vetiver and amber leave a woody, spicy and lightly powdery base.
