What does Romance (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, with daily wear, work and leisure leading the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters read it as feminine, while some call it modern and others classic.

It opens with lychee, rose, freesia and ginger, a citrusy, fruity and fresh start. Violet, lotus and lily then give it a floral, slightly powdery heart. In the dry-down, patchouli, oakmoss and musk leave a green, woody base. DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense and Balenciaga L'Eau Rose have a close profile.
