Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions it gets the most votes for. Voters mostly call it feminine, with modern second.
Bellini, bergamot and red berries start it off with an aquatic, fruity freshness. In the heart, peony, pink lily and jasmine add a soft floral note. The base of vanilla blossom, sandalwood and musk sweetens it slightly and dries down with a powdery trace.
