What does Essence In Color smell like?

Most voters find it right for daily wear, work and leisure, while evenings and nights out come well behind. The four seasons sit close together, with a slight lean towards spring and fall. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, and most voters read it as feminine.

Iris, rose and musk lead the scent. Frankincense and amber settle that floral line onto a woody, sweet base. Fresh and citrusy tones keep it light, while powdery and synthetic touches soften it. Narciso Rodriguez Essence and Montale Roses Musk have a close profile.
