What does Secret Dream smell like?

It opens with lychee, orange, kiwi and mandarin orange, a juicy and bright start. In the heart, violet, jasmine and heliotrope add a soft floral layer, while white chocolate pulls the scent towards a creamy, gourmand side. In the base, vanilla, musk and orris root carry the sweetness on a powdery ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick leisure, business and daily wear, and its light, youthful feel suits daytime best. Mexx Inspired Warmth for Her and DKNY Nectar Love have a close profile.
