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

The top holds lilac, violet and ginger, and the heart brings peony, rose and aquatic flowers. The accords point to a fresh, watery bouquet, softened by fruity and sweet touches. In the base, patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood give it a powdery, creamy footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. The light, clean style suits everyday wear. Rayhaan Divine and Davidoff Cool Water Sea Rose have a close profile.
