What does Reaction for Her (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is mostly suggested for daily wear, leisure and work. Many call its character feminine, others modern.

It opens with kiwi, watermelon and citrus, fresh and fruity. The heart carries lily of the valley, violet and white orchid, sweet and floral. Musk, vetiver and white amber keep the base soft and simple.
