What does Jasmine Sambac & Marigold smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it suits evenings, leisure time and nights out. It leans feminine in the character votes, with few calling it masculine.

It opens with lemon and pot marigold, which give it a bright, green start. The heart is floral, with jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang. The base of benzoin, amber and vanilla sweetens it and finishes powdery, creamy and slightly spicy.
