WoodyWhat does In Love Again (1998) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. It reads mostly feminine and modern.
The opening is fruity and bright, with vodka and cassia adding a light spicy edge. In the heart, water lily and rose bring the floral side, with grapefruit keeping it citrusy. The base settles on sandalwood and musk, with blackberry adding sweetness and tomato a green note. Yves Saint Laurent In Love Again Fleur de la Passion and Galimard Journal Intime (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
