What does Blue Paradise smell like?

Mandarin orange, bergamot and galbanum give a fresh, green start, while peach and blackcurrant soften it with a fruity sweetness. In the heart, jasmine, iris, rose and hyacinth build a floral, powdery feel, and musk, sandalwood and oakmoss leave a woody, chypre base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine and classic. Mülhens Janine D. and Cartier So Pretty have a close profile.
