Wearers say
Wearing it
Most wearers describe this as a light, powdery raspberry floral that sits close to the skin. Longevity divides opinion, with many finding it fades quickly while some get all-day wear.
How far it carriesClose to the skin
Perfumers call it sillage.
It projects softly at arm's length before quickly becoming a skin scent.
“It lasts 6–7 hours, but the sillage is non-existent. Definitely a skin scent and reminds me of the Glossier house.”

As a blind buyTest first, sample before buying
