What does The Key (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with boysenberry, mandarin orange and pear, while osmanthus adds a floral edge to that fruity freshness. In the heart, water lily, jasmine and peach nectar soften it. The base settles into raspberry cream, vanilla and musk, with the woody, powdery side staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine.
