What does Woman smell like?

It opens with peach, bergamot, hyacinth and cassia, giving a fruity, aquatic freshness. Lily, jasmine and iris bring a soft floral heart. In the base, tonka bean, cedar, sandalwood and amber sweeten it and settle it onto a lightly woody, powdery ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it is a quiet scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters find it feminine.
