What does Always smell like?

It opens with jasmine tea, starfruit and kiwi for a cool, juicy start. In the heart, lily, yellow tulip and everlasting flower bring out the floral side. The base of bamboo, plane tree wood and white musk dries down woody and clean, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and leisure leading and office use close behind. It reads clearly feminine. Avon Truth (Eau de Parfum) and Téo Cabanel Très French have a close profile.
