What does Wow smell like?

It opens with cranberry, lemon, bergamot and watermelon, bright and juicy. Violet and freesia give the heart a soft floral touch, and marine notes with musk dry down clean and slightly sweet.

Its sillage is rated weak. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure, sport and the office. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Davidoff Cool Water Sea Rose and Anna Sui Dolly Girl On The Beach have a close profile.
