What does Blooming Paradise smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is mostly worn for daily use, leisure and the office. It reads feminine.

It opens with apple, pink pepper and blackcurrant, a lively fruity start. In the heart, orange blossom, violet, peony and watermelon form a floral, watery freshness kept light by a green accord. Musk and sandalwood leave a soft base. Annayake Natsumi (2004) and Floris Sirena have a close profile.
