What does Javanica smell like?

Javanica's longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither lingers loudly nor fades quickly. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and nights out. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though it works as unisex too.

The scent is fresh and citrus-led: bergamot and citrus notes meet the floral side of lily of the valley. Nutmeg adds spice and vanilla adds sweetness, while rosewood and frankincense give it a woody, resinous and slightly smoky backdrop.
