What does Rubia Sucrée smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with mandarin orange and lemon zest, while ginger flower and fig leaf add a light spicy, green edge. In the heart, jasmine absolute, almond and precious woods come forward. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean settles it into a creamy, gourmand sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer and winter also get a fair share. Leisure and evening are the most common uses, with night out close behind. Marcoccia Zaahra and Franck Boclet Tonka have a close profile.
