What does Le Gemme - Rubinia smell like?

Sandalwood and tonka bean build its soft, creamy core. Mandarin orange adds a fruity lift, while copaiba balsam carries the spicy, oriental side. The sweetness leads, and the powdery facet softens it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a distant last. Evening and night out are the most common occasions. About half of voters find it feminine. Chanel Bois des Îles and Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc have a close profile.
