What does Beauty smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters call it feminine, with some finding it modern or classic. It spreads across all four seasons, with autumn and spring picked most often, and it suits evening, daily and leisure wear.

Mandarin orange, lychee, bergamot and blackcurrant give it a fresh, fruity opening. At its heart, orange blossom, rose and jasmine form the floral core, balanced by patchouli and a chypre accord. In the base, musk, ambergris, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten it, drying down powdery and creamy. Its profile is close to La Rive In Woman and Galimard Songeries.
