What does Escada Margaretha Ley Tender Light smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, lemon, peach and bergamot, light and fruity. The heart turns floral and sweeter with orchid, hyacinth, ylang-ylang and tuberose. The base settles into a woody, softly powdery ground of oakmoss, cedarwood, sandalwood and amber. Spicy and synthetic touches run through the accords. It has been discontinued. Giorgio Beverly Hills Giorgio (Eau de Toilette) and Benetton Hot have a close profile.
