From your scent profile
Penhaligon's Vra Vra Vroom is a unisex scent that opens bright with bergamot, mandarin orange and apricot, moves into a floral heart of osmanthus and rose, and settles on a leathery, woody base.
Skunky's take: A card-carrying member of the fresh club.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

What does Vra Vra Vroom smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading, though business and evening get votes too. Many call it feminine, yet a fair share see it as masculine or modern.
Fresh and citrus accords lead, while apricot and the florals add a fruity, sweet softness; clary sage and spicy touches keep the opening from feeling heavy. At the heart, osmanthus, magnolia and rose build a creamy floral, and the base of Georgywood®, Ambrofix and leather leaves a woody, slightly leathery trail.
