In the top, peach and plum bring a fruity sweetness, while violet leaf keeps it green and crisp. The heart of rose, iris and violet forms a powdery floral layer. Musk, benzoin and moss in the base soften it and add a gentle sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters place it in spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and office wear. Most voters find it feminine, though it is marketed as unisex. It has been discontinued.
