What does Ma Dame (2008) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without disappearing. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with a place at the office too. Most voters read it as feminine and modern.

It opens with orange zest, bright and clean. Rose and grenadine carry the heart, adding a floral, fruity sweetness. Musk and cedarwood in the base soften that sweetness and settle it onto a light woody ground, with a faintly synthetic sheen running underneath. Majouri Jour 5 and Lacoste L.12.12 Rose have a close profile.
