What does Difference Women smell like?

It opens with melon, pineapple and pink pepper, so fruit sweetness comes first with a light touch of spice. In the heart, violet, heliotrope and aquatic notes bring a soft, floral and powdery feel. Vanilla, cedarwood and musk then settle it into a sweet, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted on them. Voters lean towards spring, fall and summer, and name daily wear and the office most often. Most voters find it feminine. Lacoste Inspiration and Jil Sander Jil (2009) have a close profile.
