This is so much fun. Citrus and a candied violet lead the way... I like it a lot.
I’m OBSESSED with this scent! So underrrated!
Light and airy, translucent and so beautiful!... Perfection!
This is a guaranteed compliment getter. Perfect office scent too!
This is so good. Really fresh and natural smelling with hints of bubblegum... Amazing for spring/summer. Completely unisex.
I’m OBSESSED with this scent! So underrrated! Reminds me Of violet candies after the Neroli opening.. i do wish it was stronger and louder especially for the price. I think I must have it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is so good. Really fresh and natural smelling with hints of bubblegum but this is a neroli based fragrance. Amazing for spring/summer. Completely unisex.
Oh the pure joy of finding a fragrance that feels like it was made for you. This is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever experienced. ... Perfection for me. Thank you Fanny Bal

But not For $300+ and it lasts less than an hour
I am not smelling much of anything, this might be too light and airy for my nose
Salty, herbaceous, powdery. Laundry detergent vibes. Not even slightly sweet, there is no bubblegum... too stringent for me personally.
I'm not convinced it works alongside the citrus opening... ultimately overpriced for what it is. 2.5/5.
too generic and not worth frederic malle price tag... this one just fail to impress me
I am not smelling much of anything, this might be too light and airy for my nose :D I get some faint citrus, that's about it.
Salty, herbaceous, powdery. Laundry detergent vibes. Not even slightly sweet, there is no bubblegum. Mostly petit grain with brief whiffs of citrus peel. Light, inoffensive as it sits quite close to the skin, but too stringent for me personally.
Neroli and citrus, with a tad sweetness, perfect for a hot sunny day but too generic and not worth frederic malle price tag. ... this one just fail to impress me, for both uniqueness and creativity. ... disappointing release.
