Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.

CreamyWhat does Raphael smell like?
Voters lean towards spring, then autumn, and mention leisure, daily wear and the office most. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Some voters call it feminine, others modern.
It opens with rhubarb, cardamom and pink pepper, lightly spicy and bright. The heart turns floral and soft with iris, magnolia and honeysuckle. In the base, vanilla, white musk and cedar take over, leaving a creamy, sweet finish.
