CreamyWhat does 1957 smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, office and leisure wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it classic.
Bergamot and neroli give it a bright, citrusy freshness. Iris and powdery notes soften that freshness, and honey adds a light sweetness. Cedar provides a woody frame, while white musk gathers everything into a clean, creamy base.
