What does Sun Cities smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative picture. Being unisex, it suits both men and women.

The opening is fruity and bright, with mandarin and pineapple, while cardamom adds a light spice. In the heart, oakmoss, violet, osmanthus and leather come forward, and saffron adds a warm touch. The base of patchouli, amber, musk and sugar sweetens and softens it. The accords read fresh, citrusy and floral, with sweet and spicy shades behind. Vilhelm Parfumerie Great Lord and Vilhelm Parfumerie Chimilka have a close profile.
