What does Surprise smell like?
The top notes of mandarin orange and pink pepper give a spicy, fresh start. Magnolia and rose then take over the heart, turning the scent floral and powdery. Sandalwood and benzoin close it with a woody sweetness, and a synthetic edge runs through the accords.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it leaves a light trail close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most. Voters mostly find it feminine and modern. Givenchy Dahlia Noir and Lanvin Me have a close profile.
