Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and nights out. Voters tend to read it as feminine and modern.
It opens with milk, pink pepper and blackcurrant bud, sweet with a touch of spice. In the heart, cashmeran, white woods and orris butter add a soft floral, woody, powdery feel. The base of Bourbon vanilla, suede, moss and balsamic notes closes it warm, creamy and slightly leathery. Creed Delphinus and Burberry Goddess Parfum have a close profile.
