What does Hedera smell like?

Hedera opens bright with bergamot, lemon and grapefruit leaf, softened by orange blossom. In the heart, ivy, pineapple and Damask rose lead, with water jasmine and lavender adding a green, fruity touch. Cedarwood, vetiver and coconut gather it onto a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office, rarely for evening or night out. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably on either side. Al Haramain Neroli Canvas and DSH Perfumes Aqua Admirabilis have a close profile.
