What does Betsey Johnson smell like?
Most voters place it in autumn and spring, though summer and winter are not far behind. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits best in daytime and relaxed settings, and fewer voters pick it for evening or the office. It reads feminine.
It opens with tangerine, grapefruit, blackcurrant and pear, a citrus and fruit brightness. The heart brings lily of the valley, freesia and red apple. Cedar, sandalwood, amber, musk and praliné settle into a woody, powdery, mildly sweet base.
