What does Vice Versa smell like?

Flowers lead: tuberose, peony and iris, softened by green tomato and fruity raspberry. Chinese mandarin orange brightens it, while vanilla, amber and musk add a sweet, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits daily wear, leisure and evenings. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine. Le Galion Tubéreuse and Penhaligon's Peoneve have a close profile.
