Notes:
A spillage of robust fine wine over black orchids and ylang flowers ~ a blend of exotic spices with light nuances of sultry amber. Highly seductive, esoteric perfume oil for women. Highly recommended for nightwear. A proprietary blend of fragrance and essential oils.
The first sniff in the vial was bugging me - what is that? I thought at first it smelled very fruity, like one of those children's scented shampoos, but that wasn't quite it. Eventually it hit me - bubblegum! What the - ? So weird. Once applied it's an aquatic floral scent, with a strong candy/sweet note. It's really strange, and nothing like I would expect from the notes describing it. When it dries down it mellows to a soft floral amber, which is pleasant but nothing special. This perfume has little sillage and not much staying power - it had disappeared entirely within two hours.

Huh!? That sounds strange! The official description sounds like something i would enjoy, except perhaps for the ylang... but your description sounds awful!
ReplyDeleteIt's not *quite* awful, but it's definitely weird, and not something I'd be reaching for.
DeleteThat's weird that the description is so different than what it actually smells like! Though, sometimes bubblegum can smell nice in a fragrance. I Smell Like a Witch by OHWTO has bubblegum in is, and it really works :)
ReplyDeleteBubblegum is one of those smells I can't stand (along with tomato sauce and bananas). When Noodles was younger she went through a phase of constantly chewing Hubba Bubba and the smell drove me crazy!
