What does Camélia Chinois / Eau de Camélia Chinois smell like?

It opens with bergamot and grapefruit, and tea absolute, basil and exotic fruits sit in the heart. Musk and sandalwood soften the base and close it with a powdery warmth. The floral and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding anyone. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Its character is mostly seen as feminine. Guerlain Cologne du Parfumeur and Goutal Les Colognes - Eau d'Hadrien have a close profile.
