5.3

essence · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

essence Smile is a fresh, citrusy and sweet women's fragrance led by mandarin orange, passion fruit and coconut, and it has been discontinued.

In the base, sandalwood, musk, vanilla and amber sweeten it and leave a warm, gourmand finish. The synthetic accord adds a slightly artificial edge to all that fruit and sugar.

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it is voted for most. It opens with pink pepper and bergamot adding a light spice and freshness to the florals. The heart is a soft, powdery bouquet of rose, mimosa, jasmine sambac and iris. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and white musk bring a creamy sweetness, while Haitian vetiver and tobacco dry it slightly so it never turns sugary.
