CreamyWhat does Inner Child smell like?
It opens with bergamot and linen, a clean and airy start. In the heart, freesia and lily of the valley carry the floral side, while vanilla sweetens the scent and adds a creamy smoothness. The base of white woods, birch wood and musk settles into a woody, powdery ground, and the overall impression has a lightly synthetic, laundered feel. Its profile is close to Shiseido Zen Essence and N.C.P. 702 - Musk & Amber.
