Scent Depot Score™
Good
Worth consideringA sparkling citrus opening (grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot) that settles into fresh florals (Hawaiian wedding flower, orchid, lily‑of‑the‑valley) and a soft, clean base (mimosa, transparent woods, gentle musk). Performance skews moderate—often a few hours of wear with soft sillage—making it ideal for bright daytime use rather than evening drama.
