What does Citrus Leather smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Votes are split between spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions.

The top notes, mandarin orange and bergamot, give a fresh, green and slightly fruity start. Floral notes carry through the heart and add a sweet, spicy touch. In the base, musk, cedarwood and ambergris ground it in a soft, woody finish.
