What does Soft Contrast (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with apricot, grapefruit and raspberry, bright and fruity. The heart turns softly floral with jasmine, tiaré and gardenia. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and creamy notes sweeten it into a powdery, gourmand warmth, with a slightly synthetic edge in the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by winter and fall, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Nearly half of voters call it feminine, and some find it modern.
