What does Viva Rock smell like?

The opening is bright, with citrus and fruity freshness up front. In the heart, Damask rose, jasmine and cherry blossom form a floral frame. The base of iris, ambergris and musk settles into a powdery, creamy, lightly woody finish, with a synthetic sheen running through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions, which fits a light, clean scent made for daytime.
