Pros & Cons
- ✅ This one is delightful, it's soft & creamy, fruity and vanilla with a hint of rose & hibiscus. The berries and cassis are prominent at first, but then the vanilla,musk & florals come to the fore. I keep getting lovely little puffs of this all day,it's a very comforting smell- it's a shame it's another discontinued line, I shall treasure my small bottle.
- ✅ Oh my! I had almost forgotten about this! Ah, memories... I received a sample of this with a magazine when I was maybe 13. It's been 12 years and yet I can still remember the smell. It's like a refreshing fruity soft drink with a hint of vanilla (one of my favourite smell). However this love was never meant to be. I couldn't afford buying a bottle at that time, and it's obviously discontinued now:(
- ✅ I had nearly forgotten this old friend, which I hear may be discontinued now? Perfect for Spring with its gorgeous florals blending together in a creamy, vanilla manner. Wonderful...a real wrist sniffer as the dry down is delicious. I have a 1.7 oz EDT that is about 80 % full, so I see much enjoyment of this in my future.
- ❌ Well, I thought I would get a sweet, vanillic, berry scent, instead, I received a very green, musky patchouli scent. Very green, very herbal, the cassia makes it sharper, the bitterness of the black currant also make it bittery green. I do not like it, but I can see someone who might. It smells like the outdoors, musky, green, like having gone to the green forests, the grass, subtle flowers around you, and you picked up blueberries, perhaps somewhere in Switzerland or Slovakia where wild berry picking is common. The flowers come afloat a bit more when it dries down. But that's the vision I get with this scent, outdoorsy, the grass, the woods, the flowers and picking wild berries. The patchouli and cassia are just too much for me, too herbal, too green, too bitter. The faint vanilla, almost no sweetness, faint flowers, overall I am disappointed, I would not recommend it unless you like green scents, herbal scents, patchouli. The dry down is better, though dim, you can pick up the dark berries more, the subtle flowers like magnolia yes magnolia, musk. Again it is literally like an outdoor trip for berry picking, green grass, leaves, some garden flowers blooming and dark wild berries. At the same time, you picked up many magnolias and a few roses and set them in a vase next to the many berries, what a lovely dream, the freshness of the country fills the rooms with green dew.
