What does 8 smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it leaves a gentle trail without fading quickly. Voters pick it mostly for daytime, leisure, sport and office wear, and far less for nights out or evenings.

It opens with clementine, mandarin orange and grapefruit for a bright citrus start. In the heart, amaryllis, freesia, violet, melon and lily add a soft floral-fruity layer. The base of vetiver, musk, Bourbon vanilla and amber settles into a powdery warmth. Calvin Klein CK All and DKNY Women Summer 2018 have a close profile.
