What does Cities Collection - Seoul 532-8 Sinsa Dong Gangnam-Gu smell like?

Mandarin orange meets pepper and nutmeg at the top, so the citrus freshness carries a spicy edge. The heart holds Provençal lavender, ylang-ylang and leather. Marine notes, coumarin and amber sweeten the base and settle it onto a woody ground, with a fruity and slightly synthetic side.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and sport lead the occasions, with business use too. It reads masculine and modern. Zara Zara Man Blue Spirit and Diesel Only the Brave (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
