What does № 09 - Orange Star smell like?

Clementine and mandarin orange lead, while lemon grass and orange blossom in the heart pull that fresh citrus in a floral direction. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and ambergris soften it and make it sweeter. Fresh, fruity and sweet accords dominate; spicy, woody and resinous tones stay in the background.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads comfortably either way. Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street and Bottega Veneta Knot have a close profile.
