What does Hainan 2005 (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and summer gets the smallest share. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and few choose it for the office. It reads more masculine and classic than feminine.

Yuzu, mandarin orange and bitter orange give it a tea-like freshness, while jasmine tea, pink lotus and blue lotus pull it towards floral and green. Sichuan pepper and tobacco add spice and smoke, and castoreum and hyraceum bring an animal warmth. Chinese oud, Mysore sandalwood and ambergris form a woody, resinous base.
