What does Young Sexy Lovely smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is aimed at women.
It opens with blackcurrant, nashi pear and Italian mandarin orange, light and juicy. In the heart, Chinese magnolia, cherry blossom and wild peach push it towards a sweet, floral side. Cedarwood, musk and amber leave a soft, powdery base. Perfumes with a close profile include L'Occitane Fleurs de Cerisier and Dolce & Gabbana Rose the One.
