WoodyWhat does Sheer Delight smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office are the occasions named most often. It is mostly seen as feminine and modern.
In the top, mandarin orange, lemon and pear give a bright opening. The heart of peony, orange blossom and lily of the valley adds a sweet, floral softness. In the base, musk, amber and resins leave a woody footing. Aigner Sensual Peony and Essential Garden Cherry Blossom have a close profile.
