What does V (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall close behind and winter trailing. Daily wear and the office lead the occasions, and most voters read it as feminine.

The top is bright and fruity, with pear, orange and grapefruit, tempered by rice and cassia. Frangipani and rose carry the floral heart. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla and musk sweeten it and settle it into a powdery, woody warmth.
