What does James (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

James wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often, with business wear not far behind. It reads as a feminine fragrance.

It opens with green jasmine, citrus notes and mandarin water for a bright, cool start, softened by the rain accord and the solar note. In the heart, Kadota fig and gardenia turn the floral side sweeter and creamier. Amberwood, forest soil and soil close it on an earthy base.
