SyntheticWhat does Mellow Yellow smell like?
It opens bright and juicy with lemon, passion fruit and wild peach. In the heart, crab apple blossom, osmanthus and jasmine sambac turn that fruity freshness towards flowers. The base brings vanilla sweetness, while musk and plum wood keep it soft underneath. A synthetic side runs through the accords, and overall it reads fresh, floral and sweet. Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Lily and Lacoste Love of Pink have a close profile.
