What does Carolina smell like?

Hay absolute and tea give it a green, earthy base, while magnolia, honeysuckle and star jasmine carry the floral side. Longleaf pine adds a woody coolness, and tobacco, tonka bean and vanilla bring a sweet, gourmand softness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen most often for leisure and daily wear. It reads somewhat more feminine, though a fair share of votes call it masculine. Napa Valley Cielo and Zoologist Panda (2017) have a close profile.
