What does Sikada SQ smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It has no clear gender lean and can sit comfortably on either a man or a woman.

In the top, mandarin orange, blood orange and grapefruit give a bright citrus start, while cinnamon and ginger add a spicy warmth. The heart is led by jasmine sambac, iris and rose. In the base, sandalwood, musk and vanilla form a creamy, resinous footing, and castoreum and civet add an animal depth.
