Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. Leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions it is voted for most.
It opens with coumarin and bergamot, a citrus freshness that lightens the start. The heart is a floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, magnolia and white blossoms. White musk and vanilla in the base leave it soft, powdery and creamy. LM Parfums Aldhèyx and Van Cleef & Arpels So First have a close profile.
