What does Qi Parfum smell like?

It opens with lemon blossom, neroli and freesia in a bright floral mood. In the heart, osmanthus absolute, violet, rose and tea come forward, with green and fruity tones keeping it light. Myrrh, benzoin, maté, musk and moss settle the base into a soft footing.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for leisure, daily routine and the office. Voters lean towards feminine, yet it reads as unisex. Ormonde Jayne 1. Qi Intensivo and L'Erbolario Primaverde have a close profile.
