What does Britannia (2016) smell like?

It opens with a fresh bunch of mandarin orange, tangerine, bergamot and citron. In the heart, May rose, jasmine, violet and peach bring a soft floral-fruity layer. The base turns sweet and spicy with vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and clove, while sandalwood, musk and ambergris keep it on a powdery, creamy ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets votes for office and daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine, with a good share calling it classic. Roja Parfums Danger and Roja Parfums Love have a close profile.
