What does Soft Spot smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards daily, leisure and office wear, and gets fewer votes for nights out. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and calm. Just over half of voters read it as feminine, and a good number call it modern.

It opens with bergamot zest, freesia and mandarin orange for a fresh, citrus start. In the heart, water lily, jasmine and vanilla orchid add a floral, lightly sweet softness. The base of musk, sandalwood and amber leaves a creamy, powdery trail. A synthetic, clean feel runs through the accords. Berdoues Freesia & Coton and Kate Moss Lilabelle have a close profile.
