What does Maggie the Cat is Alive, I'm Alive! smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it tends to stay fairly close to the skin while still being noticed nearby. The number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide.
Overall it reads fresh and citrusy, with a floral, powdery side. Peach and champagne add a sweet, fruity lightness, while oakmoss and castoreum bring a chypre feel and a slight animal depth. Amber and sandalwood settle it onto a creamy, warm base. Solar note and ambrette round out the mix.
