What does Scent Stories Vol.1/Ch.03 - The Botanist smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with pink pepper, bergamot, grapefruit and apple. In the heart, rose, lily of the valley, peony and cypress bring a floral note kept in check by a green edge. The base of musk, vetiver and ambergris settles into a soft, woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit close together.
