What does Like a Rollercoaster Ride smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a light trail. Most voters pick spring and summer; daily and leisure wear come first, with office use close behind. It is rarely chosen for evenings.

It reads fresh, citrusy and aquatic, with green and fruity touches against a sweet background. White peach and apple keep the opening lively, while floral notes and peony give the heart a soft floral feel. In the base, musk, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten it slightly and settle it on a woody footing.
