What does Calyx (2014) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often as occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters read it as feminine, while some see it as classic or modern.

It opens with grapefruit and green leaves, a bright citrus start. The heart brings freesia, rose and jasmine for a soft floral turn, with sweet and fruity touches alongside. Sandalwood, oakmoss and iris settle it onto a woody base.
