What does Hothouse Flower smell like?

It opens with cypress, green leaves and Earl Grey tea, giving a cool, slightly misty freshness. In the heart, gardenia and fig bring a floral, sweet softness, while galbanum keeps the green note going and frankincense and absinth add a spicy, resinous depth. The base of musk, gaiac wood and corn silk settles it onto a soft, woody ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so people close to you notice it but it won't fill a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Most voters find it feminine.
