What does White Silk smell like?

Mandarin orange and white peach give the opening a fruity brightness. Orchid, water lily and jasmine form a soft floral heart. In the base, cedarwood, sandalwood, white musk and amber turn it powdery, sweet and slightly oriental.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, though winter and autumn are close behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, with some picking it for the office. The character reads clearly feminine.
