What does Madama Butterfly II smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, while leisure, business and evening wear are close behind. It reads feminine, though some voters call it masculine, so the gender line is not sharply drawn.

Quince, tagetes and clementine petitgrain give a fresh, slightly bitter opening. In the heart, tulip, iris, galbanum and raspberry form a floral, green and fruity whole. The base of cedar, patchouli, sandalwood and ambergris leaves a woody, powdery and faintly smoky ground.
