What does Boss Woman smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for Boss Woman, with autumn next and winter well behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office lead; night and evening are rarely chosen. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a soft trail without filling the room. Most votes call it feminine, and a good share also find it modern.

It opens fresh and fruity with mango and mandarin orange. Freesia and violet root add a gentle floral heart. Sandalwood and cedar settle it onto a woody base, while a sweet, slightly synthetic feel runs throughout. Rabanne Lady Million Eau My Gold! and Guerlain With Love have a close profile.
