Bergamot, mandarin orange and lychee open brightly, with rose present from the first moments. In the heart, cherry, heliotrope, violet and almond take over, turning the scent floral and powdery-sweet. In the base, vanilla and sugar keep the sweetness going, while sage and sandalwood temper it with a soft, woody, spicy edge.
Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring close behind and summer a smaller share. It is mostly suggested for leisure and daily wear, though evenings and nights out also come up.
