What does Flowerbomb La Vie en Rose 2011 smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, mandarin orange and bergamot, a citrus freshness with a light spice. The heart brings lily of the valley and rose together with raspberry, red berries and almond, so the floral side is softened by a fruity, gourmand sweetness. Amber, patchouli and cashmere wood close it with a powdery, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters choose spring and summer, while winter plays a small part. It leans towards business, daily and leisure wear, with evenings and nights less common. It mostly reads as feminine. Mugler Innocent and Dior Miss Dior Chérie (2011) (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
