What does Dewy Lily of the Valley & Star Anise smell like?

The top opens with magnolia, star anise and green mandarin orange, the anise adding a faint spicy edge to the floral start. The heart of peony, lily of the valley and white tea keeps the scent fresh and green. The base of white musk, sandalwood and ylang-ylang brings a soft, woody, creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail close to the skin, though the vote count is small and these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads feminine, from the hand of perfumer Jennifer Jambon. Molton Brown Lily & Magnolia Blossom and Atkinsons Tulipe Noire have a close profile.
