What does True Religion for Women (2009) smell like?

It opens with Granny Smith apple, Brazilian mandarin orange and Italian bergamot for a cool citrus feel, with red currant rounding out the fruit. In the heart, plum, pear blossom and freesia add a soft floral touch. Musk and woods settle it onto a lightly woody base; the overall impression is green, aquatic and a little sweet.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily or leisure wear, with some also choosing the office. Most votes call it feminine and modern. Moschino Cheap and Chic - I Love Love and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
