It opens with bergamot's citrus brightness, then freesia and rose take over the heart. Musk and woody notes soften the base, leaving a powdery, creamy finish. The fresh, floral and sweet accords lead, while the synthetic and spicy sides stay in the background. Gucci Rush Summer and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew have a close profile.
