Pros & Cons
- ✅ I absolutely love this fragrance. I don’t get any of the cough syrup notes people are referencing, just juicy plum that dries down to a moody, powdery smell.
- ✅ Lovely rich plum and Madagascan Vanilla. The floral note makes this sexy. Strong, lasts many hours and perfect for cooler weather and evenings.
- ✅ I have about 500 bottles of perfume and to my nose this is one of the best releases this year so far.
- ❌ The weakest of the flankers. Has a medicinal smell which reminds me of the flavored penicillin I had as a child in the 70's.
- ❌ very strong scent of cherry cough syrup.
- ❌ smells like window cleaner to me! Eww.
