What does Florence smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant and mandarin orange, a bright fruity start. In the heart, grapefruit, orange blossom and hibiscus seed bring out the floral side. Musk, patchouli and amber then sweeten the base, adding a woody, oriental and slightly gourmand warmth, with a synthetic sheen running through it.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night-out and evening wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, while some call it modern or classic. Jaguar Excellence and Judith Williams Oriental Mandarin have a close profile.
