What does Serendipitous smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer gets a small share. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and its character reads mostly feminine.

Blood orange brings a citrusy, fruity brightness, and cocoa and vanilla settle it onto a sweet, creamy, powdery base. A spicy, oriental warmth stays in the background. The notes don't unfold in stages; the scent reads as one sweet whole from start to finish. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Marshmallow Vanilla and Kyse Perfumes Cacao Noisette.
