What does Selva do Brazil smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine, with votes split almost evenly between the two.

It opens with petigrain, citrusy, green and bright. In the heart, tonka bean softens things and keeps its sweetness in the background. Gaiac wood then leaves a woody, lightly spicy base, with a floral touch running through the whole scent.
