Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

What does Dear Polly (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Apple and bergamot open it with a bright, fruity lift. Ceylon tea softens the heart, and oakmoss, black amber and musk anchor the base. Sweet and spicy touches settle over a woody, slightly smoky ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work come up most. It reads mainly feminine, though some find it modern or masculine. The Dua Brand Morning Love Letter and Creed Aventus have a close profile.
