What does BALR. 1 for Women smell like?

It opens with tropical fruits, plum and caramel, a sugary, juicy first impression. In the heart, lotus, jasmine, rose and citrus fruits form a floral layer. At the base, musk, sandalwood and tonka bean tie everything into a creamy, powdery, soft sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. It is favoured for leisure, evenings and nights out, and most voters call its character feminine. Câline Rouge Intense and La Rive Sweet Hope have a close profile.
