What does Kapsule Light smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily, business and leisure use leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

The scent is fresh, citrusy and green. Bitter orange and jasmine give it a floral, fruity brightness, musk softens it, and nutmeg and clove add a light spice. A synthetic tone also sits among the accords. Penhaligon's Luna and Jil Sander Style Pastels Tender Green have a close profile.
