What does Something About Sofia smell like?

It opens with mango and freesia, fresh and fruity, then moves into a floral heart of jasmine, peony and lily. Vanilla, caramel and musk in the base turn it sweeter, settling into a soft, gourmand and powdery finish, with a synthetic, lightly spicy edge in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and daily and leisure wear come up most often. It reads feminine and modern. Hard Candy Hard Candy and Benefit Ring my Bella have a close profile.
