What does 212 Heroes smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. It has no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion and sits close to an everyday scent.

Mandarin orange and lemon give it a bright, citrusy lift, while jasmine sambac, peony and orange blossom build a floral core. Raspberry and milk soften it with sweetness, and sandalwood and cedarwood add a woody finish. Lanvin Jeanne Lanvin and Michael Kors Coral have a close profile.
