What does Like a Million Miles Away smell like?

Fresh citrus and mango make a bright opening. In the heart, praliné, rose and plum add a floral, gourmand sweetness. Vanilla, cedarwood and musk soften the base into a powdery warmth.

Longevity is weak and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It reads as feminine and modern. Like a New Love and La Rive Sweet Rose have a close profile.
