What does Hanbury smell like?

The opening is Sicilian lime, Brazilian bitter orange and Sicilian orange. At the heart, acacia, calycanthus and honey sweeten the citrus. The base of oakmoss and benzoin dries down with a spicy, powdery trace.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work come up most often. Though it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea and Mancera Lemon Line have a close profile.
