What does V Ete smell like?

It opens with Bulgarian rose, lychee, bamboo leaf and violet, giving a fruity, green freshness. In the heart, Turkish rose, jasmine, geranium and peony deepen the floral side. The base of musk, cedar, sandalwood and amber settles it onto a soft, slightly sweet, woody ground.

Its longevity is rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. The light, airy character suits warmer weather, and it reads as a feminine perfume. Rasasi Sotoor - Taa' and The Body Shop Oceanus have a close profile.
