What does Like a Day in a Candy Shop smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, followed by spring, and daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine and modern.

It opens with orchid and peach, and the fruit sweetness comes through at once. In the heart, lilac, jasmine and heliotrope add a soft, powdery floral layer. Musk, tonka bean and vanilla in the base settle it into a sugary, gourmand finish, with a slightly synthetic edge.
