What does Iperborea smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daytime, leisure and office use lead the occasions. About half of voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

It opens with peach, mandarin orange and orange for a citrusy, fruity freshness, softened by green notes and lily of the valley. Magnolia and mimosa bring the floral heart forward. In the base, jasmine, orange blossom and musk dry down towards a powdery, creamy softness, with aromatic woods giving a light woody backdrop.
