Dorothy For Women

Dorothy opens like a fruit cocktail - melon, apple and bergamot with a sprinkle of cinnamon - bouncy and girly, exactly the playful start of Anna Sui's Dolly Girl. The heart blooms into a light floral garden of rose, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, violet and magnolia, kept airy rather than heady. A fruity-musky base of raspberry, wild strawberry, amber, teakwood, musk and vetiver gives a soft, sweet finish. The original is loved for its fun, refreshing character but notorious for barely lasting two hours, so this dupe stays true to that featherweight feel - perhaps a touch more persistent in the fruit, with similarly light, skin-close projection. A cheerful, flirtatious spring-and-summer fruity-floral for casual days, daytime and easy dates.
