What does French Flower smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, though it also suits nights out and the office. Half of voters read it as feminine, yet it is released as unisex.

Tuberose gives it a floral, creamy core, while green pear adds a fruity freshness. Nigerian ginger brings a spicy warmth and Chinese tea a light green touch. The overall feel is sweet and fresh, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Roberto Cavalli Gemma di Paradiso and Giorgio Armani Sky di Gioia have a close profile.
