CreamyWhat does Sea Daffodil smell like?
It opens with the spicy edge of pink pepper and the crispness of mandarin. In the heart, sea daffodil and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral note. The base of vanilla, vetiver and sandalwood settles the scent into a creamy, lightly sweet finish.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Though it is unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
