What does No. 42 The Flower Shop (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, then summer, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, with a place in the office too. Half of the voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.

It opens with peony, green leaves and mandarin orange for a fresh start. The heart gathers narcissus, jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley into a floral bouquet. The base of white musk, patchouli, moss and iris settles it into a powdery, creamy finish.
