What does Caritas smell like?

Caritas lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes next, and summer trails clearly. It gets the most votes for nights out and evenings. It reads somewhat more feminine than masculine, though a good share of voters call it masculine.

It opens with red fruits and lemon alongside cardamom and the resinous freshness of cistus. In the heart, clove, cinnamon and saffron bring warmth, softened by rose, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley, while milk adds a creamy note. The base of benzoin, sandalwood, vanilla and amber is sweet, woody and resinous.
