What does Zest Marin smell like?

Galbanum, lemon and bergamot lead at the top. In the heart, Provençal lavender, nutmeg and marine notes add an aquatic, lightly spicy streak. Musk, vanilla and vetiver in the base soften it, and the dry-down turns sweeter and creamier.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, office and daytime wear. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it reads as sitting between the two. It has been discontinued.
