What does Green Cactus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Votes for masculine, modern and feminine sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly to one side.

It opens with yuzu, bergamot and lime for a bright citrus lift, with prickly pear adding a fruity softness. In the heart, aloe vera, green tea and cactus carry the green side, while mint, cardamom and pink pepper add a light spice. The base of amber, patchouli and cedarwood settles into a sweet, creamy finish.
