What does Dolce Rosa Excelsa smell like?

It opens with papaya blossom and neroli, and the heart of Turkish rose, amaryllis, Hawaiian baby woodrose and water lily builds a garden-like floral core. Fruity and sweet accords soften those flowers, with a slightly synthetic sheen running through. The base of musk, sandalwood and cashmeran settles it into a warm, soft finish.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most votes call it feminine. Chopard Pink Wish and Adidas Fruity Rhythm have a close profile.
