What does Sevilla smell like?

Bergamot, white tea and linen give the opening a clean, airy feel. In the heart, jasmine, neroli and orange blossom take over, and the scent turns softly floral and creamy. Musk, cashmere wood and white cedarwood leave a calm, powdery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and favour daily wear, leisure and the office. Feminine is the leading character vote, though it is a unisex fragrance. Louis Vuitton Sun Song and Kaloo Blue have a close profile.
