What does Totem Yellow smell like?

Pink grapefruit leads, tea keeps the scent green and airy, and woods give it a dry base. There is a floral and fruity side too; the sweetness stays light, and the overall feel is bright and a little synthetic.

Most voters place it in summer and spring, for daily wear and leisure. Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and quiet. Voters split between feminine and masculine, which puts it in the middle.
