What does Seringa (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits daytime, leisure and the office far more than evenings or nights out. Most describe it as feminine and classic.

Green notes, violet leaf and bergamot give it a crisp start. The heart is a floral bouquet of ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily, rose and carnation. Patchouli, oakmoss, tonka bean and vanilla close it in the base with a powdery, chypre warmth.
