WoodyWhat does Red Cattleya smell like?
Most voters read it as feminine and lean towards spring and fall, for leisure and evening wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated good.
Gardenia and hyacinth form the floral core, while peach, apricot and melon pull it towards a fruity, sweet side. Citrus fruits add freshness, vanilla brings a gourmand softness, and exotic woods with musk give it a woody base. Ted Baker Au and Shiseido Zen (2007) have a close profile.
