What does River of Love smell like?

Pineapple, mandarin orange, cotton candy and bergamot open on a juicy, sugary note. In the heart, rose, jasmine, honey and peach carry the floral sweetness on, with a touch of nutmeg spice. The base of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and tonka bean settles into a creamy, powdery gourmand finish.

Longevity and projection are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with night out and evening the leading occasions, and leisure and daily wear close behind. Most see it as feminine. Mugler Angel (Eau de Parfum) and La Rive Sweet Hope have a close profile.
