What does Sweet Lime & Cedar smell like?

It opens with blood orange, lime and honey pomelo, while pink pepper and passion fruit add a touch of spice and fruit to the bright start. In the heart, coriander, sage and gardenia bring a green, floral softness. Cedarwood, amber and tonka bean settle it onto a woody, lightly sweet base.

Voters choose it mostly for daily wear, work and leisure. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and won't overwhelm a room. It is classed as a women's fragrance.
