PowderyWhat does Orla Kiely smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, while autumn and winter sit further back. It is chosen mostly for daily wear, leisure and business, with evening use getting fewer votes. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate.
Bergamot, peach and green tea give a fresh, citrusy, fruity opening. White blossoms, osmanthus and rose come forward in the heart, with chocolate softening the sweetness. Musk, tonka bean, cedar and sandalwood dry the scent down to a powdery, woody base. Gucci Flora by Gucci (Eau de Toilette) and Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
