What does Flowing Woman smell like?

The top is freesia, mandarin orange, raspberry and blackcurrant, opening fruity and bright. In the heart, mimosa, ylang-ylang, iris and violet turn the floral side soft and powdery. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk sweetens it and dries down warm.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine and modern. It has been discontinued. Jil Sander Style Soft and Escada Magnetic Beat have a close profile.
