What does Camelia smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine.

It starts fresh and green: elemi resin and bitter orange bring brightness, while rose and geranium set the floral tone. At the heart, camellia and tonka bean pull it towards a powdery, creamy feel. The base of benzoin, vanilla, Atlas cedar and amber leaves a soft, sweet finish.
