Pros & Cons
- ✅ I don't understand why this has gotten so many mediocre reviews... Granted this is a very watery, white water lily-esque scent... But that's the concept... Very clean, crisp floral with a wet, raindrop vibe.
- ✅ In my opinion the notion 'spring in a bottle' is used way too often for perfumes, but this time it actually fits. 'spring/summer in a bottle' describes this fragrance perfectly.
- ✅ Tried it at Nordstrom yesterday.. :) gotta say It's a lovely perfume with not too sweet floral notes.. When you first spray it, you will get clean, little bit green floral scent... After sometime it settles to a nice powdery scent on my skin...
- ✅ citrusy without a trace of fruitiness or sweetness. if you typically dislike citrus, dont bother, it will come across as soapy for you. i like osmanthus and it is truly one dimensional in this perfume, at least on my skin. bubbly and crisp and super super fresh without being watery.
- ❌ I have been searching for a good osmanthus scent for a while. Thus Jo Malone’s Osmanthus Blossom is of course in my ‘Must test’ list. My sample has arrived today, upon my first sprit, I have to say, I am quite disappointed. The perfume starts with a burst of rather citrusy notes... the vaguely osmanthus flower smell is there, but it is so watered and shyly hiding in the background.
- ❌ I have been searching for a good osmanthus scent for a while. Thus Jo Malone’s Osmanthus Blossom is of course in my ‘Must test’ list. My sample has arrived today, upon my first sprit, I have to say, I am quite disappointed. After several more testing. My disappointment simply escalated. However, I was set to find a real osmanthus scent (apricot-peachy sweet, a bit powdery), and I hate aquatic-ish perfume.
- ❌ I do not know if it is me, my chemistry or Jo Malone perfumes in general, but there is this underlying fragrance that they all have that smells absolutely vile to me. It gives me a headache and makes me nauseous.
