What does Lady Day smell like?

It opens with the sharp, green edge of galbanum. Gardenia carries the heart and brings out the floral side, while balsamic notes in the base sweeten the scent and settle it onto a woody, spicy, powdery ground.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is soft, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it also gets votes for fall. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, with some votes for daily and office wear. Voters read it mostly as feminine. Ineke Hothouse Flower and Adâme Linfa have a close profile.
