A lemony citrus scent and in my oppinion for men or women. I have not smelt the original so can't compare but this one is very fresh also longlasting. I bought a total of 12 assorted scents as Christmas cracker fillings, they were all lovely and well received. I've prepared another list and will order more. I was most impressed by the speed of dispatch and recieved the package within 2 days of my order. Thankyou Arabian Oppulance.
