What does Oolong Tea smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one whole. Honey, cocoa and tonka bean give it a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Tobacco and hay temper that sweetness with a smoky, spicy and lightly woody edge.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and autumn, though summer and winter also get a fair share. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and votes for feminine and masculine are fairly close.
