What does After My Own Heart smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for it, and it leans towards everyday wear, leisure time and the office. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with raspberry, bergamot and green leaves, a fresh and fruity start. Lilac carries the floral heart. In the base, musk, heliotrope and sandalwood sweeten it and settle into a soft, powdery, woody finish, with green and sweet accents in between. Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet and Annayake Hanami have a close profile.
