CreamyWhat does Lyra (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, and also worn for leisure. Voters call it feminine and classic.
The top opens with bergamot, neroli and lemon for freshness. In the heart, ylang-ylang, rose and orris root bring a floral, powdery softness. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, amber and benzoin turns sweet, creamy and resinous, with sandalwood and cedar adding a woody backdrop.
