Milton Lloyd Miss Tutu opens with a bright splash of citrusy bergamot and a sharp, clean watery note that quickly catches the nose.

This scent suits those who appreciate bold, green-tinged florals for cool spring days or casual office wear. It delivers a solid performance that easily justifies keeping a bottle on your vanity.
