What does China smell like?

It lasts a moderate time and its sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters place it in leisure, evening and daily wear, and it also works in an office. Masculine and feminine readings are evenly split, so it sits comfortably on either. The vote count is small, so these impressions are only a rough guide.

Orange brings a fruity sweetness over a woody base of cedar. Caraway adds a spicy, slightly oriental edge that keeps the sweetness in check. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one blend of the three. Kemi Layla and M. Micallef Délice have a close profile.
