What does Geranium Odorata smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, with a slight lean towards feminine.

Citrus fruits give it a bright, fresh start, while geranium carries the floral, green heart. Cardamom and spices add a faint edge, vetiver supplies a dry, woody base, and tonka bean softens it a little.
