Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling a room. It reads comfortably on both men and women, and voters score it highly for value.
Almond and tangerine give the opening a fruity sweetness. In the heart, orchid and coconut push it towards a creamy feel. The base of vanilla, heliotrope and cedarwood leaves a powdery, oriental and lightly spicy finish.
