What does White Cattleya smell like?

The scent reads as a single whole: jasmine and neroli set a floral base, while citron and lemon open it up with a citrusy, green freshness. Musk and vanilla add a creamy, lightly sweet softness, and the white cattleya orchid rounds out the floral character. Spicy and synthetic shades also show in the accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so treat this as a first impression. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Nishane Colognisé and Le Labo Jasmin 17 have a close profile.
