What does In Flames smell like?

Voters clearly read it as feminine, and most place it in spring and fall, for leisure and daily wear. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it carries through the day and also suits the evening.

It opens with aquatic freshness and orange softened by hazelnut. In the heart, heliotrope, jasmine and rose build a powdery floral base, while pineapple, melon and exotic fruits add sweetness. The base of vanilla, coconut and amber settles into a creamy, gourmand warmth. Its profile is close to La Fede White Forest Strawberry and Michael Kors Sparkling Blush.
