What does Golden Cattleya smell like?

Pollen and honey lead the sweetness, while labdanum and resins add a spicy, slightly balsamic depth. Narcissus and orange blossom carry the floral side, orange brightens the mix, and cream soda and musk soften it into something powdery and gourmand. New Caledonian sandalwood stays in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out rather than office or daily wear. Half of voters read it as feminine. Zoologist Bee and J-Scent Cafe have a close profile.
