What does Pavlova smell like?

Passion fruit, pineapple and rum make for a bright, fruity opening. In the heart, peach, raspberry and coconut soften the sweetness and add a creamy texture. The base of vanilla, musk, cedar and sandalwood closes the scent with a woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure and daily wear come first, with night outings also named. Most read it as feminine, though some call it modern or masculine. Aziri Granita and essence Smile have a close profile.
