What does Essence de Femme smell like?

It opens bright and juicy with mandarin orange, freesia and blackcurrant. At the heart, lily, stephanotis and rose leaf bring the floral side forward. In the dry-down, sandalwood and amber add a warm woody base, while apricot skin softens the sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming and Anfas Salam have a close profile.
