What does Annabel's Birthday Cake smell like?

Lemon sugar and heliotrope open it, while cake, tuberose and rose form a floral, sugary heart. The base of cocoa absolute, honeycomb and roasted tonka bean turns it into a creamy, warm dessert scent. Fruity and synthetic touches sit alongside the gourmand core.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters place it in spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and evenings; few pick it for the office. Hugo Boss The Scent Private Accord for Her and Trussardi Sound of Donna have a close profile.
