A Drop d'Issey (Eau de Parfum)

It opens with almond milk, damask rose and orange blossom, forming a soft, milky floral. In the heart, jasmine, star anise and lilac come forward, the anise adding a touch of warmth to the sweetness. The base of musk, ambrox, Atlas cedar and vanillin settles the scent into a smooth, powdery finish.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often.
