What does Series 6: Synthetic - Soda smell like?

Lime and ginger lead, with a little pepper adding spice. Aquatic and fruity touches soften the mix, so it reads light, crisp and slightly sharp rather than heavy.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring; daily wear and leisure lead, with sport and office also in the mix. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between. Douglas Energising Ginger & Lime and Azzaro Wanted Tonic have a close profile.
