What does Embrace - Rose Buds and Vanilla (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It wears at moderate strength with weak sillage, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and favour leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads as feminine.

It opens fresh and fruity with damask rose, mandarin orange and rosebud. In the heart, cyclamen, magnolia and blue iris widen the floral side. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and musk sweetens it into a creamy, powdery wood. Parfums de Marly Palatine and Kenzo Jeu d'Amour have a close profile.
