What does Épisode Romantique smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant, jasmine, freesia and violet, the fruit sweetness softened by the flowers. In the heart, Sicilian lemon keeps the citrus freshness going while cedarwood and sandalwood add a woody base. Amber warms the end of the scent, and the sweetness stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. It reads feminine, though many also find it modern. Rochas Girl and Givenchy My Givenchy Dream have a similar profile.
