What does Sweet Honesty (Cologne) smell like?

It opens with aldehydes and citrus notes that feel clean and light. The heart brings honey, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and geranium, with the honey softening the floral side. The base of sandalwood, musk, vanilla and benzoin settles into a sweet, creamy warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it keeps quiet company through the day. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, with evening possible too. It reads clearly feminine, with a classic feel.
