What does Femina smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, then leisure and business settings. Most voters call it feminine, and a good share call it classic.

The top opens fresh and lightly fruity with mandarin orange, bitter orange, watermelon and tagetes. The heart turns floral and green with jasmine, gardenia, mimosa, wisteria and violet leaf. Musk, sandalwood, clove and vetiver leave a sweet, woody, slightly spicy finish. Calvin Klein Escape and Elizabeth Taylor Forever Elizabeth have a close profile.
