What does U II - Sheer Scent smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers: bergamot and mandarin orange freshness joins the soft floral side of jasmine, iris and violet. Laurel and clary sage add a green, lightly spicy tone, while patchouli, precious woods and musk support the woody, chypre character underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. It is described as a women's fragrance. Its profile sits close to Sisley Soir de Lune and Chanel Cristalle (Eau de Parfum).
