What does Raaqi smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind; few choose winter. It is mostly worn for daily and leisure use and also fits the office. Longevity and sillage are rated good, so it makes itself noticed without overwhelming a room.

It opens with a cool burst of mint, lemon, lavender and ginger. Toward the heart, juniper, cardamom, apple and geranium add a green, spicy and lightly fruity touch. The base of amberwood, tonka bean and vetiver settles into a woody, slightly sweet finish. Swiss Arabian Mint and Wood and Sapil Intense for Men have a close profile.
