What does Sonas by Garden of Ireland smell like?

It opens with eucalyptus and orange, and a heart of fern, lavender and lilac builds a green, floral feel. In the base, musk, soft woods, ylang-ylang and vanilla settle it onto a creamy, woody, sweet footing.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and reads calm. Voters pick it mostly for leisure and daily wear, with office use not far behind. Its profile is close to Celine Rimbaud and Gucci The Virgin Violet.
