About This Perfume

This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2011.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $24.
