From your scent profile
Betty Barclay Chic is a feminine fragrance that sets the freshness of bergamot and blackcurrant against a floral heart of rose, magnolia and ylang-ylang, and it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and most voters find it feminine.
It opens with citrusy bergamot and fruity blackcurrant. The heart of rose, magnolia and ylang-ylang is floral. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and heliotrope turn it sweet, woody and powdery, while the spicy and oriental sides stay in the background.
