What does Like a New Love smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and leisure ahead of business use. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The sample is small, so treat this as a rough guide.

It opens with elemi resin, mandarin orange, grapefruit and pepper, a fresh citrus with a light spicy edge. Peony, hyacinth, peach and rose bring a soft floral and fruity heart. The base of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and musk sweetens it and leaves a powdery, gourmand trail.
