Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Talks even from the shelf.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and the office. In the character votes, feminine clearly comes first.
It opens with blackcurrant, peach and honey for a sweet fruity start, with Laotian cinnamon adding a light spice. The heart is floral, built on Bulgarian rose, night-blooming jasmine and freesia. Bourbon vanilla, Laotian honey and opoponax close it on a gourmand sweetness.
