What does Proxima smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean slightly feminine, though a good number call it masculine, so it sits somewhere in between.

Grapefruit and blackcurrant build the fresh, fruity side. Jasmine sambac, rose and iris carry the floral part, while aldehydes and an air accord add a clean, slightly synthetic shine. Blond woods and musk leave a soft, woody base underneath. Bond No. 9 The Scent of Peace and Costume National Pop Collection have a close profile.
