What does Darjeeling Tea smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: jasmine and freesia set a floral base, apricot fills it with a soft, sweet fruitiness, and davana adds a green, slightly spicy edge. Citrus and green accords keep it fresh, while creamy and woody touches stop it from turning sharp.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so people close by notice it without it filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. In character votes it leans feminine.
