A scent that feels like a sunny morning. Strawberry and grapefruit open with a juicy, sparkling lift, and violet leaf adds a cool green edge so it never tips into candy. The heart is where the flowers arrive. Gardenia is creamy and slightly lush, jasmine adds a clear white-floral shine, and the two stay light rather than heavy. As the scent settles, white woods, vanilla and musk make a soft, clean base. The house calls it a floral fruity fragrance and says it feels bright and feminine while keeping a little depth as it develops. This is an easy one to wear. It suits the office, lunch with friends, shopping or a casual day out, and spring and summer are its natural home. Apply a few sprays and it makes a pleasant, close cloud without taking over a room. In the evening it works if you want something gentle rather than dramatic. As with most eau de parfum scents of this style, a re-spray in the afternoon keeps the fruity top fresh. Bottom line: a cheerful, clean floral that is simple to love and simple to wear.
