What does Golden Apple smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters find them strong, though the number of votes is small. As a unisex scent it suits men and women alike. There are no season or occasion votes, so it's hard to say when it fits best.

Mandarin orange, lavender and apple lead, with the apple carrying the fruity freshness. Jasmine, geranium and violet then add a floral layer. In the base, vanilla sweetens, gaiac wood and sandalwood build a woody foundation, and cardamom and pink pepper bring a spicy warmth. A synthetic edge also shows among the accords. OrkusOdes Herakles and Al Haramain Détour Noir have a close profile.
