What does David Yurman smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers. Mandarin orange and water lily give it a clean, citrusy lift, while rose and peony form the floral centre. Currant leaf adds a green edge, and woods and patchouli provide a dry, earthy base. Musk softens the sweet, powdery side.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative picture. The scent sits in a fresh floral register and is classed as feminine. Ajmal Raindrops and Gucci Flora by Gucci 1966 have a close profile.
