What does Mahina smell like?

Mahina leans towards summer and spring, the two seasons most voters pick. It suits leisure and daily wear best, though it also works for business and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, with modern and feminine votes close behind.

The top is bright and fruity from blood orange, mandarin orange and lemon. In the heart, jasmine sambac and peony bring a soft floral note while the sweetness stays in the background. Woods and musk form the base, leaving a clean, woody finish under the fresh opening. Coach Coach Floral and Gucci Flora by Gucci Glorious Mandarin have a close profile.
