Grapefruit, peony and lotus lead the top, with jasmine and gardenia strengthening the floral side. In the heart, orange blossom, tuberose and rose carry the bouquet on. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and amber sets a woody, lightly powdery ground.
Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, with daily wear and the office leading. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine. Mülhens Janine D. and Parfums de Marly Galloway have a close profile.
