What does Life Threads Emerald smell like?

The top holds orange blossom, angelica and galbanum, with galbanum bringing out the green side. Rose, narcissus and jasmine form the floral heart. In the base, sandalwood, amber, iris and oakmoss leave a woody, powdery and slightly sweet warmth.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good. Night out, business, evening, daily and leisure wear all drew similar support, so it isn't tied to one setting. It reads feminine. Versace V'E Versace (Eau de Parfum) and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs have a close profile.
