What does Ricina smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn also in the mix and winter well behind. It suits daily wear, the office and leisure time, and it holds its own for evenings and nights out. Votes on character lean slightly feminine, though a good share call it masculine.

It opens with orange, bergamot, plum and peach, bright and juicy. The heart brings orange blossom, peony, Siberian iris and jasmine, rounding it into something softly floral. The base of musk, sandalwood and patchouli settles it down, with oakmoss and Cambodian oud adding a little depth to the sweetness.
