What does Panda (2017) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter getting few votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, though some voters also choose it for the office or evening. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes split closely between masculine and feminine, so it sits in between.

The top opens with mandarin orange and apple brightness woven through the flowers, while bamboo, iris and earthy notes in the heart bring out the green side. In the base, civet, musk, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten and soften it, leaving a warm, slightly animal finish.
