What does Sparkling Jo smell like?

Juniper, champagne and bergamot give the top a light, bright opening. In the heart, ambrette, ginger and Williams pear come forward: the pear adds a soft fruitiness, the ginger a gentle spice. Musk, ambergris and oak wood build a woody, slightly sweet base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. It suits daily wear and leisure time, and works at the office too. It reads comfortably on both men and women.
