What does Free Wave for Her smell like?

In the top, blackberry and mandarin orange bring a fruity brightness while agave syrup adds sweetness. The heart of water lily, orchid and apple blossom turns floral and watery. Moss, orcanox and patchouli settle underneath, and a synthetic accord colours the overall impression.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters point to leisure, sport and daily wear, with office use a step behind and night outs rarely chosen. It reads as a light, youthful feminine scent. Davidoff Cool Water Intense for Her and Escada Sorbetto Rosso have a close profile.
