Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

Umé is chosen most often for autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Voters place it anywhere from daily wear to evenings and leisure time, and most call it feminine. Longevity is good and sillage moderate.
The scent reads as floral and fruity, carried by a sweet line. Ume and May rose shape the floral-fruity side, while almond softens it into something powdery. Citrus notes lighten the whole, and the chypre accord adds a dry, spicy backdrop. Annayake An'na and Lord Bella have a close profile.
