What does Writer White smell like?

Citrus and spice lead, while galbanum and violet leaf carry a green chill through the heart and rose softens the floral side. In the base, ambrox, ambrette and cashmeran settle the scent onto a powdery, creamy, lightly sweet footing. The overall impression is fresh and clean, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions, while night-out use is rare. Perfumes with a close profile include La Perla Invisible Touch and Creed Iris Debonair.
