What does Tom Yum / ต้มยำ smell like?

Lemon, lime, grapefruit and kaffir lime leaf give it a sharp, tangy brightness. Lemon grass and coriander add a green, spicy side, and Thai ginger makes that spice more pronounced. Patchouli lays a woody base underneath, while jasmine absolute softens the citrus a little.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters recommend summer and spring. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it leans towards. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though some find it feminine. Two perfumes with a close profile are Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime and Florame Fraîcheur Boisée.
