What does Bronze (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Bronze works best as a daytime scent: most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work are the most chosen occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close without overwhelming a room. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine.

It opens with a bright citrus lift from mandarin orange, green apple, lemonade and bergamot. The heart brings a soft floral layer of orange blossom, honeysuckle, violet and lily of the valley. It dries down to musk, vanilla and cedar, leaving a sweet, powdery and lightly woody trail. Jil Sander Simply and Aigner Début have a close profile.
