What does Rea smell like?

Those who rate Rea find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough indication. With no season or occasion votes, only its unisex character can be described: it reads neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine.

The top holds iris, orange, magnolia and mandarin orange. In the heart, rose, jasmine and lavender form a floral base, while Tuscan leather and cedar pull it towards leather and wood, and pink pepper adds a light spice. In the base, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it into a creamy softness, while oakmoss, birch and patchouli keep it balanced.
