What does Oriental Essence - Eau des Indes smell like?

It opens with citrus notes, bergamot and white tea, and the heart of peony, mimosa and ginger adds a soft floral touch. In the base, white musk, cedarwood and musk set down a creamy, lightly woody floor. The overall impression is fresh, green and clean.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and office settings lead the occasions. A feminine character prevails. Women'secret W'eau Garden and Folie à Plusieurs Hope have a close profile.
