What does A Sorta Fairytale in Hyde Park smell like?

Most voters pick it for leisure time, daily wear and the office, and fewer see it as an evening or night-out scent. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it neither overpowers nor fades quickly.

The scent reads fresh, floral and fruity, built on mandarin orange, peach, apple blossom and orange blossom. Iris and heliotrope add a powdery softness, while honey and vanilla bring a creamy sweetness. Amber and musk settle that sweetness onto a warm background.
