It opens with freesia and orange blossom, then moves into a soft floral heart of jasmine, peony and lotus. The base of heliotrope, amber, cashmere wood and musk settles the fresh florals onto a sweet, powdery and warm foundation.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It is marketed as a women's fragrance. Penhaligon's Cornubia and Gustave Eiffel Lotus de Hanoï have a close profile.
