What does Pastel Rumours smell like?

Milk and custard give the scent a soft base, leaning on the sweetness of caramel and vanilla. Peach adds a fruity brightness, while cardamom and ginger bring a light, spiced lift. Iris and musk smooth the sweetness, and grain adds a warm, dry texture.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Most choose it for spring and summer, though it is also worn in autumn and winter. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and can work at the office too. Sarah Baker Perfumes Peach's Revenge and Molton Brown Milk Musk (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
