Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Half of voters call it feminine, while others find it classic or modern.
After the lemon opening, rose, cyclamen, lily of the valley, hyacinth and jasmine come forward. In the base, galbanum, cinnamon and clove add a green, spicy line, and the scent dries down woody and powdery.
