Voters lean towards evening and night-out wear, with business and leisure taking smaller shares. Despite the summery name, the votes make it more of an evening scent. There are not enough ratings to say how long it lasts or how far it carries.
It opens fresh with mint, rose and citrus fruits. The heart turns softly floral with ylang-ylang, jasmine and white lily. In the base, carnation, vanilla, straw and iris bring sweetness, spice, powder and a faintly earthy edge.
