From your scent profile
Oscar de la Renta Alibi Eau de Parfum is a floral, sweet and gourmand women's scent that opens with ginger flower and mandarin orange and settles on praliné and musk.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

CreamyWhat does Alibi (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out.
Ginger flower and mandarin open with a sweet brightness. In the heart, vanilla orchid and heliotrope add a creamy, softly powdery feel, while aquatic notes lend the sweetness a light freshness. Praliné, musk and amberwood leave a warm, gourmand trail at the base. Guess Bella Vita and Ariana Grande Cloud Pink have a close profile.
