What does Teresa smell like?

Most voters recommend it for fall and winter, with spring next. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though leisure and office wear also get votes. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes on its character split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

It opens with mandarin orange, Italian bergamot and neroli, while pepper, ylang-ylang and berries bring a floral, fruity warmth to the heart. Siam benzoin, oakmoss and tobacco in the base leave a spicy, resinous, creamy depth. Parfums de Marly Herod and Zara TOB/02 Tobacco Tango have a close profile.
