Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is worn from daytime and the office to evenings and nights out. Most voters find it feminine.
It opens with almond, bergamot and aniseed, the citrus freshness softened quickly by sweetness. Orange blossom, lavender and jasmine form a floral heart. Bourbon vanilla, sugar and white musk close it in the base with a powdery, gourmand warmth.
