What does Himalayan Blue smell like?

It opens bright with orange leaf, mandarin orange and lemon. In the heart, black tea, pink pepper and ginger add a light spice, while rose, wild flowers and champaca soften it with a green, floral touch. Patchouli, leather and sandalwood settle underneath as a woody base.

Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and business. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Boadicea the Victorious Lavish have a close profile.
