What does Oriental Bloom (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend spring and autumn, with winter close behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often, and it mostly reads as feminine.

In the top, freesia and jasmine give a floral start while pear adds a fruity freshness. In the heart, magnolia softens and sweetens alongside vanilla and tonka bean. Musk and blond woods in the base add a light woody, oriental footing. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and Lattafa Ekhtiari have a close profile.
