WoodyWhat does Authentic Woman smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, and the scent is mostly seen as feminine and modern.
It opens with red currant, pear and mandarin orange, fresh and fruity. Lily of the valley, magnolia and nectarine bring the floral heart forward. In the base, cedarwood, ambrette seed and sandalwood close it on a soft, woody sweetness. Engelsrufer Love and Betty Barclay Sheer Delight have a close profile.
