What does Embrace - Periwinkle and Iris (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine.

Mandarin orange, bergamot and violet open it brightly. Periwinkle, iris and blue jasmine form a floral heart, and vanilla, sugar and benzoin settle it into a powdery, creamy sweetness.
