What does Viridarium smell like?

Viridarium's longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Votes on character split closely between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either.

The top opens fresh and citrusy with mandarin orange, clary sage, bergamot and green notes. In the heart, beeswax, carnation, date and chamomile add a floral, lightly sweet softness. The base of elm, white fir, frankincense and cypress settles it on a woody, resinous footing.
