What does Embrace - French Lavender & Tuberose (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter, with summer a distant fourth. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and evenings are also named. It reads as feminine.

Mandarin orange opens with a fruity brightness. In the heart, tuberose and French lavender form a floral core, while vanilla and cocoa bean sweeten the base into a creamy, gourmand finish. The overall impression is soft, powdery and clearly sweet.
