What does John Richmond for Women smell like?

Daily wear and the office come up most, and most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn next. Longevity is rated good while sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room.

It opens with pink grapefruit, blackberry and pear for a fruity brightness. The heart of lily, magnolia and narcissus adds a soft, slightly powdery floral note. Patchouli, amber and sandalwood settle it into a woody, sweet base. Lanvin Rumeur 2 Rose and Van Cleef & Arpels Rêve have a close profile.
