Most voters pick business, daily and leisure wear, with far fewer choosing evening or night out. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but quiet trail.
It opens with lily of the valley and violet leaf, a fresh, green start. Yellow gardenia and jasmine soften the heart into a floral centre. The base of Virginia cedar, amber and Australian sandalwood adds a woody, creamy, lightly spicy foundation.
