What does Lover smell like?

It opens with freesia, passion fruit, mandarin orange and blackcurrant, a bright mix of citrus and fruit. In the heart, apple, plum, raspberry and apricot sweetness joins jasmine and honeysuckle. The base sets a woody ground of amber, musk, cedar and mahogany, with peach adding a soft, gourmand touch.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters place it in daily and leisure wear, with office use also a common choice. Jeanne Arthes Happy Sweet Sixteen and Candy Lips have a close profile.
