The composition
Girl of the Year opens with the waxy, powdery smell of lipstick, lifted by a thread of incense. Smoke and soft leather follow, and the base settles into orris, sandalwood and a warm fur note.
It has a vintage glamour, more after party than red carpet, with powder and smoke holding equal weight. A good choice for evenings out and for anyone who loves cosmetic notes with an edge.
What wearers say
- Wearers praise the lipstick opening, a waxy, vintage makeup smell.
- Smoke and leather follow, often compared to a smoker's leather jacket or an old handbag.
- The drydown turns powdery with orris, and a few find the fur note too animalic.
- Longevity is mostly reported as moderate, with some saying it fades sooner than they hoped.
- It is worn most for evenings and nights out.
