What does Born to Shine for Woman smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the sample of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. The sweet, gourmand side is pronounced, which places it on the feminine end.

The opening is bright and fruity, with cinnamon, bergamot and mandarin orange softened by apple blossom. In the heart, jasmine, Pomarose® and damask rose carry the floral side, while coffee adds a darker sweetness. The base of vanilla, cashmere, cedarwood and sandalwood leaves a powdery, woody warmth, deepened by Indonesian patchouli.
