What does Autumn Afternoon smell like?

The scent reads as a single whole: mandarin orange brings a citrusy, fruity brightness, and lavender nudges it in a floral direction. Patchouli lays an earthy base, while Peru balsam adds a resinous, creamy, sweet softness. Spicy touches stay in the background.

Voters find the longevity moderate and the sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and does not project far. That suits a quiet, understated everyday wear. The number of votes is small, so these impressions should be taken loosely. It is positioned as a women's fragrance.
