What does Sun Sea Salt & Genista smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daytime and office wear. Voters mostly call it feminine, with modern coming second. Mancera French Riviera and Dior Eden-Roc have a close profile.

Sea salt opens it with a cool, briny freshness, and mimosa brings a soft, creamy floral heart. Broom absolute sits underneath and carries that sweet, watery feel through the dry-down.
