What does Ophélia smell like?

It wears at a moderate level: longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Voters mostly see it as feminine, with a modern side too.

It opens with green notes and water lily, which give it a cool, aquatic feel. In the heart, tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine bring out the floral side, along with some sweetness and a powdery softness. The base of white musk, ambergris and moss leaves it soft and clean.
