What does L'Eau d'Issey - Shade of Sunrise: Day 1, 5:45AM smell like?

It opens with bergamot and lemon, softened by almond, frangipani and jasmine. The heart turns floral with ylang-ylang, heliotrope, osmanthus and rosebud. In the base, coconut milk, sandalwood and cedar add a creamy, woody warmth, while the fruity and sweet touches stay light.

Most voters pick summer, followed by spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office use also suggested. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine and modern. Benetton Charming Frangipani and Chanel Gabrielle Chanel (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
