What does Like Best Friends Forever smell like?

It opens with tangerine, pink pepper and blackcurrant, then moves into candied apple, peach and rose at the heart. Musk, vanilla and sandalwood soften the base. The overall impression is fruity and sugary with a slightly synthetic edge, and a gourmand sweetness dominates.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick it for leisure and daily use, with the office coming after those. Judith Williams Strawberry Champagne and Versace Red Jeans have a close profile.
