PowderyWhat does Style Soft smell like?
The opening is fruity and bright, with blackcurrant and mandarin orange, while freesia nudges it towards flowers. In the heart, magnolia, jasmine and violet form a soft, powdery bouquet. Vetiver, musk and vanilla then sweeten it slightly and settle it onto a calm base.
Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Its character reads feminine; Puma Flowing Woman and Câline À La Vie have a close profile.
