What does Beyond Paradíse smell like?

The opening of blue hyacinth, jabuticaba, philodendron and bergamot feels green and juicy. Honeysuckle, jasmine and orchid bring the floral side forward in the heart, and Natal plum blossom, ambrette seed and zebrano wood settle it onto a lightly sweet, woody base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. It reads mainly feminine and modern. Estēe Lauder Beyond Paradíse Blue and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
