What does Stay smell like?

Voters pick it most often for daytime, leisure and business, and also find it fitting for sport. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. It reads as feminine.

Fresh and citrus accords meet a floral, aquatic and slightly fruity character. It opens with green hydrangea, freesia and lemon blossom, then peony, lotus and bellflower take the heart. Musk, driftwood and amber soften the airy feel at the base.
