It opens with bergamot, iris and violet; violet continues in the heart alongside star anise and ylang-ylang. The base of vanilla, white musk, sandalwood and rice powder softens and sweetens it. A green freshness sits over a powdery, woody base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, business and leisure wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine. Its profile is close to Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile (Eau de Parfum) and Dior Remember Me.
