Pseudonym

5.3

LR

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

LR Pseudonym is a fresh women's fragrance that pairs the fruity brightness of melon, peach and lychee with a floral heart of jasmine and violet.

A base of vetiver and sandalwood steadies the sweetness with a soft, woody foundation. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It stays light and simple, with a clearly feminine character.
