What does Nectarine Blossom & Honey (Cologne) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for it, and it is chosen mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it fits those who want a calm, light scent. In character votes it leans feminine, though many also call it modern.

It opens with blackcurrant, green notes and petitgrain for a fresh start. Moving into the heart, black locust, acacia honey and nectarine add a floral, fruity sweetness. Vetiver, plum and peach then settle that sweetness onto a green base.
