What does Antigua smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for Antigua, and it also works in autumn; winter is the least likely season. It is worn mostly for leisure and daytime, and it suits the office too. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters lean slightly feminine, but it reads as unisex.

It opens with lime, bergamot, grapefruit and guava, a bright mix of citrus and fruit. In the heart, fig leaf adds green freshness beside white peach and rose. The base dries down with vetiver, cedar and oakmoss, softened by musk and vanilla. Balenciaga Rosabotanica and Nicolaï L'Eau miXte share a close profile.
