What does Caru by Garden of Ireland smell like?

Voters lean towards fall and spring, though summer is not ruled out. Daily and business settings come first, with leisure close behind. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin. It has been discontinued.

Lychee and raspberry give a fruity opening. The heart brings lily of the valley, rose and freesia, adding floral and green freshness. The base rests on vetiver, cedar and patchouli for a woody footing, rounded off by vanilla and amber, with a spicy hint in the background. Axis Miroir and La Rive Dream have a close profile.
