The top is green and bright: violet leaf brings freshness, bergamot adds lift and pink pepper a light edge. In the heart, osmanthus, peach and rose soften things into a fruity floral. The base of musk, cedarwood and patchouli leaves a woody, powdery finish.
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small. The fresh, green and gentle profile suits everyday wear and works for men and women alike. Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame (Eau de Parfum) and Friedemodin Jardin Mystique have a close note and accord profile.
