What does Leon smell like?

The opening pairs tuberose, mandarin, rose and Sicilian grapefruit, so the florals come with a citrus lift. The heart adds Italian peach, magnolia, Thai coconut, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac, giving it a soft, fruity side. In the base, Tuscan birch, maple wood, musk, cedar and Bourbon vanilla settle it onto a woody, sweet footing, with the green and fresh accords still showing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so treat that as a rough guide. Its unisex profile suits men and women alike. Acqua di Parma Magnolia Nobile and Fueguia 1833 Malena have a close profile.
