What does Ray of Light smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither fills a room nor vanishes quickly. Leisure, business and everyday wear lead the occasions, and voters split almost evenly between calling it feminine and masculine.

It opens with a bright citrus layer of lime, bergamot, pink grapefruit, lemon and orange. In the heart, spearmint and galbanum turn it green and cool, and the base of blond tobacco and vetiver leaves a woody, lightly sweet finish. The result reads fresh, fruity and a little spicy. Dammuso and Ginfusion have a close profile.
