What does Like a Day in Paradise smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits those who want a light scent through the day. Just over half of voters call it feminine, and some find it modern.

Currant, lemon, peach and rhubarb open it; apple, freesia and magnolia add a soft floral heart. Vanilla, coconut milk and sandalwood carry it into a sweet, gourmand, powdery base.
