What does Corona smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity the stronger of the two. Voters place it evenly across daytime, leisure and nights out, with business and evening wear getting a fair share too. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine, sitting in between.

It opens fresh and citrusy, with grapefruit and juniper berry softened by the spice of saffron. At the heart, black violet brings a floral, powdery side while leather adds a leathery edge. Vetiver lays a woody base, with raspberry adding fruity sweetness and cashmeran a warm softness. Green and oriental touches keep the whole balanced.
