What does Perfect smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often as occasions. It mostly reads feminine, followed by modern.
It opens with narcissus and rhubarb for a fresh start. Almond milk in the heart pulls it toward a creamy, sweet side. Cashmeran and cedarwood in the base round off the floral, fruity structure with a soft woodiness.
