WoodyWhat does Dare (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The citrus and fruity brightness of the top gives way to a floral heart of cactus blossom, jasmine and wild rose. In the base, musk, coconut and blond woods sweeten it and add a soft woody touch. A green edge runs through it, and the overall impression is fresh and sweet.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, with business use also possible. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to Vera Wang Look and Givenchy Eaudemoiselle Eau Florale.
