About This Perfume
Ulric de Varens Mini Love smells like Raspberry cherry sorbet with soft powdery fruit. It opens with raspberry, tangerine and cranberry, moves into cherry blossom, cyclamen and peach and settles on grapefruit and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
