How does it perform?
From 17 community ratings, all out of 10.
A short but sweet date; a travel size in your bag is a good idea.
Whispers to close friends, never shouts at a crowd.
Plain bottle, the real show is inside.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily and leisure wear leading and business use not far behind. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a soft scent. It reads feminine.
Grapefruit and raspberry open it fresh and lightly sweet. At the heart, rose and violet bring a floral, powdery softness, and woods ground it at the base. The gourmand sweetness stays light while the fresh side leads.
