What does L'innocence de l'air smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing into the room. Summer and winter get some votes too, but spring and fall lead. It works for both daytime and evening and doesn't lean toward either gender.

It opens with Calabrian green mandarin orange and angelica seed, fresh and lightly spicy. In the heart, Guatemala ambrette seed absolute, Damask rose absolute and Rosa centifolia bring a soft, powdery floral feel. The base of Suederal® and musk settles it into a woody, slightly sweet finish.
