What does Beautiful smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it is worn for daytime, leisure and work, and also for evenings out. Most voters read it as feminine.
The top is fresh and fruity, with bergamot, pear and mandarin orange. Blue freesia, gardenia and jasmine form the floral heart. In the base, cream, sandalwood and amber soften it into a gourmand sweetness with a woody, powdery finish.
