What does Optimist / Optimiste smell like?

Lemon and neroli keep it bright, while melissa and peppermint add a green coolness. Ginger brings a touch of spice, and patchouli stays in the background beneath the sparkle. Fruity and sweet accents take off any sharpness, so the scent never turns heavy.

Its longevity is moderate, though the rating rests on very few votes. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits easy daytime wear. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune and Roger & Gallet Fleur d'Osmanthus have a close profile.
