What does Kumquat smell like?
It opens with bergamot, orange zest and tangerine, a bright citrus start. In the heart, kumquat softens with jasmine and tiger orchid, while woods, cedar and musk settle it onto a woody base.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. Half of voters read it as feminine and a third as masculine, so it works either way.
