What does Ginger Zest de Citron smell like?

The top is led by lemon, bergamot, kumquat and ginger, with mint and eucalyptus adding a cool edge. In the heart, gardenia, orange blossom and jasmine bring a floral softness, while patchouli stays in the background. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and musk dries down fresh, green and lightly sweet, ending creamy and woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily and office wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it leans neither way.
