WoodyWhat does Captivating smell like?
Taken as a whole, the scent rests on a floral body of jasmine, magnolia, rose and peony. Bergamot and mandarin orange bring the citrus brightness, while freesia and the green accord keep it crisp; guava adds a fruity, sweet note. Iris lends a powdery softness, sandalwood and musk form a warm, woody base, and the spicy accord stays in the background. Together they read as light, bright and slightly sweet. Benetton b.clean Soft Fragrance and Fresh Memoirs of a Geisha have a close profile.
