Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

What does Glimmer smell like?
The top is orange blossom, mandarin orange and raspberry mousse, bright and fruity. Moving into the heart, vanilla, rose and rose macaron add a soft, sweet, slightly powdery layer. Amber, sandalwood and tonka bean build a warm, woody base underneath.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good by those who voted, though the vote count is small. With its sweet, floral build it reads as a women's fragrance. Rochas Audace and Viktor & Rolf Bonbon have a close profile.
