What does Blu smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though few people have voted, so that view is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so no particular time of year can be named; being unisex, it can read on men and women alike.

It opens fresh and citrusy, with grapefruit and bergamot softened by rose. The heart turns to white florals and iris, while ylang-ylang and osmanthus add a sweet, fruity touch. The base of frankincense, sandalwood, vanilla and labdanum leaves a warm, resinous, slightly animal woodiness.
