How does it perform?
From 31 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Spontaneous Generosity smell like?
It opens with Assam tea, fig and tonka bean, while benzoin, Peru balsam and coumarin give the heart a resinous, creamy warmth. Cherry, caramel and sandalwood sit underneath, and the overall impression is fruity, spicy and distinctly sweet.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening, night out and leisure wear. It reads more feminine than masculine, though some voters see it as masculine.
