Match with Occasion

Daytime scents: Light, fresh, fruity fragrance.

Test Before You Buy

The good thing here is if it doesn't suit your taste, you can always retake the test: Spray on your wrist and wait a few minutes. 

For Longer Lasting Perfume Use

For perfume application without fail, wear on pulse points- wrists, neck, behind ears, etc.

Don'' cause it would spoil the scent. 

Perfume will stay longer if the skin is hydrated before applying. 

Layer with your fragrance by using the matching body lotion or mist.
