What does Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic smell like?

Italian mandarin orange brings a bright citrus snap, met by the green edge of basil. Vanilla sweetens it slightly, while sandalwood lays a soft woody base underneath. The floral and fruity sides stay in the background, and the fresh accord leads.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a gentle trail rather than a heavy one. Most voters pick summer and spring, and winter gets only a small share. It suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it modern.
