What does Carat (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. Half the voters call it feminine, with the rest finding it modern or classic.

The notes read as one floral bouquet: ylang-ylang, jonquil, iris, honeysuckle, violet, hyacinth and tulip. Fresh, aquatic and green accords lead, softened by sweet, powdery and creamy touches. Guerlain L'Heure Blanche and Tiffany & Co. Sheer have a close profile.
