What does V: Fruity Floral smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: bergamot gives a citrus freshness, black plum adds fruity sweetness, black pepper brings spice, and frankincense sets a woody, slightly smoky base. Among the accords, the fresh, citrus, floral and fruity sides lead, while the spicy, woody and smoky tones stay in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is described as a feminine scent. Goutal Mandragore Pourpre and Mugler Innocent Rock have a close profile.
