What does Naiad smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It is chosen for daily, leisure and business wear, while evening and night out come up less. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters call it feminine more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

The scent runs on a green, airy line: fern and moss give a damp, woodland-floor greenness, and musk softens it with a powdery warmth. A spicy touch sits among the accords, while the floral side stays in the background. Caron Les Plus Belles Lavandes and Andromeda's Curse Lichen have a close profile.
