What does Cheap and Chic smell like?

Cheap and Chic has moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It is seen as a daily, leisure and office scent, while evenings and nights out are a distant second. It reads feminine and modern.

It opens with the brightness of bergamot, yuzu and petitgrain, with rosewood adding a soft woody edge. In the heart, Egyptian jasmine, freesia, peony and violet form a floral bouquet. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and iris sweetens it and settles it onto a powdery, creamy ground.
