SweetWhat does Calyx (Exhilarating Fragrance) smell like?
Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily, leisure and business settings lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Just over half of voters read it as feminine. Creed Spring Flower and Floris Fleur have a close profile.
Spearmint, bergamot, peach and apricot give a cool, juicy opening. In the heart, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and melon soften the floral side. At the base, musk, cedar and moss dry down calm and clean.
