What does Bolero smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and the occasions that lead are daily wear, leisure and business. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without becoming heavy. It reads as a feminine scent.

It opens with lotus, mandarin orange and berries for freshness; peach, violet, gardenia and rose carry a floral-fruity heart. As it dries, sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it and settle it onto a woody base. Tommy Hilfiger Hilfiger Woman Flower Violet and Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
