What does First Lady smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes these figures only a rough guide. It is picked most for daily wear and leisure, with business and evening use close behind. It reads as a feminine scent.
The top brings mandarin orange, Brazilian orange, Italian lemon and pomegranate, with pear and muskmelon adding a fruity softness. The heart fills out with orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose. In the base, vanilla, caramel and musk keep it sweet, while orris root leaves a powdery trace. Citrus, fruity and gourmand accords lead overall.
