What does Joy of Pink smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is picked most for daily wear, leisure and the office. Half of voters find it feminine, and a good share call it modern.

The top opens with citrus fruits and grapefruit, and the heart brings curaçao and peony. Cedar in the base gives the dry-down a soft woody footing. The overall impression is fresh, a little sweet, with a bright synthetic sheen. Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau Ginger and Le Couvent Aqua Amantia have a close profile.
