PowderyWhat does Life by Esprit for Women (2003) smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters call it feminine and modern, also find it fitting for the office and sport, while evening and night out come far behind.
The top opens with red berries, damson plum and lychee, and the heart turns to lotus, rose and gardenia. The base of amaranth wood, white musk and amber sweetens it and settles it onto a powdery, woody footing.
