What does Caractère de Femme smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that figure is only a rough guide. It is written for women.

Jasmine, freesia, rose and lilac form the floral core. Aldehydes add a bright, clean lift, while musk and vanilla leave a soft, lightly sweet base. Citrus, aquatic and green accents keep it from feeling heavy, so it reads airy rather than dense.
