WoodyWhat does Live in Love smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. More than half of voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot, green violet and galbanum for a fresh, green start, with hyacinth and ginger orchid adding a floral edge. The heart brings orange blossom, jasmine sambac and rose. The base settles into musk, white woods, cedarwood and sandalwood, softened by sweet amber.
