What does Softly smell like?

Softly sits at a moderate level for both longevity and sillage, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daytime, leisure and office wear are the most common occasions. Most see it as feminine, with a share calling it modern.

The top notes are mountain magnolia, cotton and ginger, giving a fresh, clean start. In the heart, orange blossom, heliotrope and jasmine build the floral core. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and musk sweetens it and leaves a creamy, soft finish.
