What does Second Skin smell like?

It opens with pear, lemon and raspberry: pear and raspberry carry the fruit, while lemon keeps it light. In the heart, peony, iris and peach blossom add a floral, powdery softness. Vanilla and oak wood in the base sweeten it and settle it onto a lightly woody ground.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office, far less for nights out. Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola! and Jeanne Lanvin have a close profile.
