Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter further back. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings, and over half of voters find it feminine.
Mandarin orange opens bright, fresh and fruity. Rosa centifolia carries the floral heart, and vanilla with woody notes sweeten the base, which dries down with a spicy warmth. Coty Gravity (Cologne) and Mexx Inspired Glow (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
