What does Alegría de Vivir smell like?

Mandarin orange and lychee give it a bright, fruity start. Peony and white cedarwood sit at the heart, setting the floral side against a woody line. In the base, rice powder and rice steam soften the scent and sweeten it. A slightly synthetic note also shows in the accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Few vote for night or evening. Jean & Len Peony Lychee Scent Experience and Betty Barclay Sheer Delight have a close profile.
