Bergamot and mint bring coolness, while lily of the valley adds a light floral touch. In the heart, chamomile, tansy and amber come forward, giving a green, slightly spicy feel with the sweetness kept in the background. The base of musk, cedar and sandalwood settles it onto a soft, woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is not a firm verdict. It reads as a feminine scent suited to everyday wear. Harry Lehmann Maiglöckchen and Penhaligon's Violetta have a close profile.
