Aura
by Swarovski
Aura by Swarovski is a soft, feminine floral with a prominent litchi and rose opening that unfolds with a noticeable spark of pink pepper. The fragrance starts bold and sharp, with a slightly abrasive initial note that some find overpowering, but it settles into a warm, sweet, and powdery drydown dominated by litchi, rose, and a delicate musk. The tuberose note emerges gently in the heart, adding depth without overwhelming, while amber and benzoin contribute a subtle balsamic glow. The scent is most appreciated in spring and summer, with moderate sillage that lingers pleasantly on the skin, though longevity is modest for most wearers. It is a modern, accessible floral-gourmand that appeals to those who enjoy a gentle, sweetly fruity rose with a smooth, clean finish. Despite some reports of short longevity and initial harshness, many find it wearable, elegant, and suitable for office or evening use.
