What does Orange Blossom smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, autumn comes well behind, and winter is rarely chosen. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most mentioned settings. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

The top opens bright with citron, bergamot and neroli, while cardamom absolute and pink pepper add a light spice. At the heart, orange absolute, jasmine, tuberose and peach blossom lead. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and white musk softens everything into a creamy, sweet woodiness.
