What does Shiro... smell like?

The top is a light floral freshness of rose, cotton flower and cyclamen, and linen in the heart keeps that clean feel going. In the base, spruce balsam, iris and musk settle it onto a faintly woody, powdery and creamy ground. The green and sweet touches stay modest, with a slightly synthetic sheen running underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads feminine, with a good number of voters also calling it modern.
