About This Perfume
Vera Wang Embrace Marigold and Gardenia comes across as sunlit mango and melon petals, powdery gardenia. It opens with mango and melon, moves into tagetes, gardenia and orange blossom and settles on cedar, musk and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it fades within a few hours, and stays close to the skin. Plan to reapply on a long day.

What Vera Wang smells like
First comes mandarin, lady apple and water lily, then sugar icing, amber and vanilla cake: Vera Wang Princess (Eau de Toilette, 2006) is sweet berry chocolate cake with vanilla icing. Vera Wang Embrace French Lavender & Tuberose (Eau de Toilette, 2018) gives creamy lavender bouquet with vanilla cocoa sweetness, starting from mandarin orange and resting on vanilla and cocoa bean. Vera Wang Lovestruck (Eau de Parfum, 2011) sets pink guava and mandarin orange against musk and woods for a result that reads sweet pink fruit blossom, soft powdery musk.
