What does Pure Mariposa smell like?

Citrus and green accords lead at first, and the peach sweetens that freshness a little. In the heart, the white flowers come forward and add a powdery, creamy softness. The base of amber, cedarwood and patchouli settles into a woody, lightly spicy foundation.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, work and daytime wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Oscar de la Renta Oscar White Gold and Xerjoff Torino23 have a close profile.
