What does Wave for Her (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick summer, with spring close behind, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, then for the office. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, and a good share as modern.

It opens with blackcurrant sorbet, pink grapefruit and starfruit, a bright, lightly sweet fruitiness. Orchid, jasmine and hibiscus add a soft floral heart. Teakwood, sandalwood and amber close it on a gently woody, sweet base.
