What does Make Perfume Not War smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick it for spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office, less often for evenings or nights out. It is most often called feminine, followed by modern and masculine.

It opens with a bright citrus cluster of lemon, tangerine, orange, grapefruit and bergamot. In the heart, peach, mango and pineapple add a fruity sweetness, while cyclamen, freesia and lilac bring a lightly powdery floral side. White musk, vanilla, tonka bean and blond woods soften the base. Alice & Peter Fancy Choco and Guerlain Cherry Blossom (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
