How does it perform?
From 28 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

It opens with neroli and pink pepper: the neroli brings a clean brightness while the pink pepper adds a spicy edge. In the heart, iris and violet give a soft, powdery floral feel. The base of musk and gaiac wood settles it into something creamy and woody.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though these ratings rest on only a small number of votes. Its profile suits anyone drawn to powdery florals, on either men or women. Cartier L'Envol and Gucci The Virgin Violet have a close profile.
