What does Love Generation Rock smell like?

The top pairs saffron, mandarin orange and white thyme: the mandarin adds a fruity lift, while saffron and thyme give a spicy edge. Lily, ylang-ylang and orchid form a floral heart. In the base, oak wood absolute, vanilla, Brazilian rosewood and tonka bean turn it creamy, gourmand and oriental.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear as well as evenings out, and it reads as feminine.
