Delicate Rose

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine and modern.

It opens with bamboo, yuzu and kumquat, which give it a bright, fruity lift. In the heart, rose, jasmine, lotus and apple add a soft, sweet floral note. The base of sandalwood, musk and cedar dries down woody and lightly powdery. Avon Tasha (Eau de Toilette) and Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Bliss have a close profile.
