How does it perform?
From 18 community ratings, all out of 10.
A short but sweet date; a travel size in your bag is a good idea.
Whispers to close friends, never shouts at a crowd.
Looks good without trying too hard.

What does Smile smell like?
Voters find its longevity and sillage weak, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough picture. It stays light and close to the skin, which suits an easy, low-key scent for the day.
It opens bright and fruity with mandarin orange, passion fruit, coconut and pineapple. Apple and tiaré soften the heart with a gentle floral touch. In the base, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and amber sweeten it and leave a warm, gourmand finish. The synthetic accord adds a slightly artificial edge to all that fruit and sugar. Sphinx Kokonut Daiquiri and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Cœur de Vahiné / Les Enfants du Soleil have a close profile.
