The top is a fresh citrus opening of tangerine, bergamot and lemon, with blueberry and pineapple adding fruit and rosemary a green touch. The heart builds a floral garden from jasmine, rose and violet. In the base, sandalwood, cedar and musk settle it onto a woody, powdery foundation.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and the occasions that come up most are daily wear, leisure and business. It reads mainly as feminine. Gianfranco Ferré Gieffeffe and Romeo Gigli G Gigli have a close profile.
