What does Killing Fresh smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters read it as masculine more often than not, though a share finds it feminine.

It opens with blackcurrant, yuzu, grapefruit and bergamot, a bright citrus start. In the heart, vervain, cardamom, rose and nutmeg add a floral and spicy layer. The base of green tea, oakmoss, benzoin and musk softens and sweetens it.
