What does Like a First Day in Spring smell like?

The top is pineapple, mandarin orange and orange juice, which gives a juicy, bright fruit impression at first. In the heart, praliné, blackberry and rose add sweetness while the floral side stays in the background. The base of musk, vanilla and sandalwood softens it into a powdery sweetness, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits those who want something light. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business settings lead. It reads feminine and modern. Two perfumes with a close profile are Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Lily and Cacharel Amor Amor L'Eau.
