What does orb_ital smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it suits best. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though plenty of voters see it as feminine.

The scent is built from frankincense, violet, pepper and rhubarb, with Hindinol® and Orbitone® in the mix. It reads as a single piece: the freshness of rhubarb and pepper is softened by powdery, sweet violet, while the smoky, woody frankincense stays in the background. There is a synthetic sheen to it as well. Zara San Francisco and Gucci The Heart of Leo have a close profile.
