What does Dawn I smell like?

It opens with orange and macadamia, a fresh, citrusy start. The heart brings lily, plum and milk: the floral side is softened by a fruity sweetness, and the milk adds a powdery, creamy feel. In the base, vanilla keeps the gourmand mood going while cedar gives it a woody, slightly spicy balance. Arrogant Cat Dusk I and Rituals No. 09 Vanilla Drops & Sweet Orange have a close profile.
