What does Francesca smell like?
Tuberose is lifted by green notes, fern and linden blossom, while violet adds a soft, powdery edge. Cassia and oud stay in the background, bringing a spicy, resinous, mildly oriental tone to the floral core.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters choose it for leisure and evening wear, though daytime and business settings also get votes. It reads as a feminine perfume.
