What does Captivating Memories - Reflecting Celebrations smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those figures are only a rough guide. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daily wear, with some picking evening and night out as well. It reads as feminine.

Citrus leads: orange zest and grapefruit give a sharp, bright feel, while palo santo anchors it with a woody, resinous base. Sweet and spicy accents soften the edges, and powdery and earthy touches stay in the background. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Really Him! and Penhaligon's Marylebone Wood have a close profile.
