What does Santa Cruz smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. Leisure and daily wear lead, with the office close behind. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither pushes itself on the room nor disappears quickly. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, as votes split almost evenly.

It opens with grapefruit and bergamot, a fresh citrus with a slight bitter edge. Eucalyptus in the heart adds a cool, green tone, while sweet, fruity accents soften the freshness. Cedar in the base leaves a woody, lightly spicy finish. Azzaro Aqua Cèdre Blanc and Azzaro Pure Cedrat have a close profile.
