What does English Major (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter; leisure and daily wear lead, with evenings close behind. Voters mostly call it modern, then feminine. Victoria's Secret Bare Vanilla Daydream and Phlur Cashmere Skin have a close profile.

The scent is built on marshmallow sweetness. Sandalwood and orris absolute give it a woody, powdery base, while carrot seed and leaves add an earthy touch. Aged paper leaves a dry, slightly creamy air.
