What does Femme smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate; most voters pick spring and summer, while autumn and winter stay in the background. It is chosen mostly for daily wear, then for work and leisure, and less for evenings or nights out. Most voters find it feminine.

It opens with blackcurrant, tangerine and freesia, which give a fresh, citrusy, lightly fruity start. Oriental lily, Bulgarian rose and stephanotis form a floral heart, while apricot skin, satinwood and amber bring sweetness and a soft, powdery base. Hugo Boss Boss Jour pour Femme and Gucci Rush 2 have a close profile.
