What does Onika (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though with only a few ratings behind them these figures are a rough guide at best. It is designed as a feminine perfume, light and powdery in overall feel.

The opening is a bright mix of pear, starfruit and mandarin orange. In the heart, osmanthus, orchid and water lily add a soft, watery floral note. The base of white musk, sugar cane and cedarwood sweetens it and settles it into a powdery finish.
