What does Simply (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens bright and a little green with mandarin orange, bergamot and violet leaf. In the heart, violet, cedar, musk and nutmeg bring out the powdery and woody side. Patchouli, leather and vanilla in the base soften it and add sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure. Most voters read it as feminine. Simply - The Art of Layering: Touch of Mandarin and Touch of Violet have a close profile.
