What does Pure Pastel Lemon (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Mandarin orange and lemon carry the sharper citrus side at the start, while green apple adds a fruity freshness. In the heart, violet leaf, freesia and lily of the valley give a floral, powdery feel. As it dries, amber, sandalwood and musk soften the scent into a creamy, lightly sweet base.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer. It suits daily wear, the office and leisure time, and most voters call it feminine and modern. Phlur Soft Spot and O Boticário Anni have a close profile.
