What does Rising Cologne smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick summer, spring and fall, while winter comes well behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, with some votes for evenings out.

The top is bright with mandarin orange, bergamot, key lime and orange, alongside rose and jasmine. In the heart, ylang-ylang, tuberose, pink pepper and ginger bring a floral warmth with a light spiciness. The base rests on sandalwood, oud and frankincense, smoky and resinous, with civet adding an animal edge.
