✅ What a magnificent gem. Gutted this is discontinued... It is a very realistic daffodil.. as if you've plucked them from the ground and rubbed them all over.
✅ A big love for me. Smells like a spring meadow with Yellow flowers and bees and beeswax.. absolutely stunning.
✅ This perfume is a masterpiece. Full stop. This creation somehow has manifested the exact sensation of putting your nose into a flower and huffing the pollen.

❌ NOPE! Tried again - STILL narcissus on steroids with a pissy-honeyed backing... Buy testers!!!!!!
❌ God no. I rarely have such strong reactions but this ... huge shock. On blotter it smelled rather nice. On skin... RUN!!! SCRUB OFF, FAST!!! - screamed my stomach.
❌ This is a very waxy green bush smell.
