Rhubarb opens the scent and orange sits in the heart. The fruity, sweet side comes forward quickly, while the fresh citrus keeps it light. Clary sage and cedarwood in the base give it a woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though these ratings rest on few votes. Most voters pick summer and spring, and choose it for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads somewhat more feminine than masculine. Acqua di Portokáli and Mexx Simply Fruity have a close profile.
