What does Sun Bath smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer, then spring. It is chosen for daily wear, leisure, business and sport. Voters mostly read it as feminine, and some find it modern.
Fresh and aquatic accords lead. Aquatic notes, calone and freesia give a cool first impression, while pink pepper adds a light lift. In the heart, orange blossom, ylang-ylang and rose bring a soft floral touch. Vanilla, musk and tonka bean sweeten the base gently. Fruity and synthetic tones sit among the accords. Escada Especially Escada and Davidoff Cool Water Wave for Women have a close profile.
