What does Sweet Hope smell like?

It opens with apricot, plum and coconut, a fruity sweetness. In the heart, tuberose, rose, jasmine and lily of the valley form a floral veil, while caraway adds a light touch of spice. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and almond softens everything into a creamy, powdery, oriental finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then evenings and nights out, though it also fits leisure and daily wear. Over half of voters read it as feminine. Câline Rouge Intense and Chris Adams Belle Noire have a close profile.
