What does Fleurs de citronnier smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn some way behind and winter last. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also suits the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though a fair share call it masculine.

The notes read as one whole: lemon blossom and neroli carry the freshness, while tuberose and iris build a floral, powdery base. White honey and musk soften the sweetness, and nutmeg and styrax add a spicy edge. The green and fruity sides stay in the background.
