What does Softly Eau de Pétales smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a calm, close trail. Voters mostly call it feminine, followed by modern.
Cherry blossom and rosebud open it; May rose, mimosa and jasmine form the floral heart. In the base, ambrox, rice and white musk give it a creamy, soft footing. Rendez-Vous by Téo Cabanel and Kenzo Flower by Kenzo (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
