What does Don't Cry for Me smell like?

The notes read as one piece: freesia and cherry blossom give a floral, green freshness, while heliotrope and ambrette seed pull it towards a powdery, creamy softness. Jasmine tea adds a light green touch, and cashmere wood with vegetal amber leaves a woody, slightly sweet base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without fading quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office. It leans feminine and reads modern. Altaia Tuberose In Blue and Acca Kappa Sakura Tokyo have a close profile.
