What does Hummingbird smell like?

Lilac, violet leaf, apple and pear lead the opening, with citrus notes and cherry adding brightness. In the heart, peony, honey and honeysuckle carry a sweet floral character. Musk, blond woods and cream leave the base soft and smooth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, though it also suits the office. About half of voters read it as feminine. Zara Number 3: Lilas Japonika and Suddenly Fragrances Lovely share a close profile.
