What does In Woman smell like?

The top notes of mandarin orange, lychee, bergamot and blackcurrant leaf open fresh and fruity. In the heart, orange blossom, rose and jasmine form a floral core, with patchouli and a chypre accord adding some depth. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and musk settles into a sweet, powdery, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and gets votes for the office and evening too. Just over half of voters find it feminine. La Rive Beauty and Mexx Black & Gold for Her have a close profile.
