Vespa for Her

Vespa · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Vespa for Her is a light women's fragrance that softens bright citrus with a floral, fruity sweetness; it has been discontinued. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. It opens with bergamot, ginger and lemon sorbet, fresh and citrusy. The heart brings orange blossom, apple and heliotrope, a floral, powdery sweetness. White musk, vanilla and cedarwood leave the base soft and lightly woody.
