What does Smeraldo smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions that come up most. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it leaves a light trail through the day. On character, feminine leads, though a fair number of voters call it modern or masculine.

The top opens with yuzu, Italian lime, pear and cedar, giving a fresh, green and fruity start. French angelica, rose and hawthorn add a soft floral heart. In the base, musk, Haitian vetiver and Moroccan mastic settle it into a powdery, creamy, lightly spicy sweetness.
