What does Gelsomino (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits close to the skin without being intrusive. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work lead the occasions. Although it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper, with citrus and fresh accords in front. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac absolute and geranium build a floral, green and creamy texture. Cedarwood and musk soften it at the base. Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle Figue and Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
