What does Sea Island Cotton (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with green pear, tangerine and blood orange, softened by cotton. The heart brings jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley. Sandalwood, white musk, vanilla and talcum leave a sweet, powdery, lightly woody base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the top settings. Most call it feminine. It has been discontinued.
