What does Lemon smell like?
Mandarin orange and lemon lead, with honeysuckle softening them. In the heart, aquatic notes, vetiver and musk form a clean backdrop, and amber adds a little warmth underneath. The overall impression is fresh, fruity and sweet, with a synthetic edge among its accords.
Longevity is rated weak, so it may need refreshing during the day. Voters pick it most for leisure, daily wear and the office, with sport also mentioned. It has been discontinued. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense and Zara Heritage Selection - Orange Zest have a close profile.
