Pros & Cons
- ✅ Really beautiful opening of starchy rice and crisp bergamot, followed by a bouquet of candied green violets, heliotrope, and powdery and earthy iris.
- ✅ Clean, powdery, creamy, smooth, melancholic purple floral fragrance. Great for layering and has slightly above average performance.
- ✅ I love Iris and powdery notes but the opening is giving me a bit of a cucumber scent which I’m not enjoying if I’m honest but after 10 minutes is starting to fade away. It was a blind buy and only £35 for a 100ml bottle so I think it’s a bargain if those are the notes you enjoy.
- ❌ I don’t know why, but somehow the notes come together to smell like mimosa to me, along with rice and iris.
- ❌ Soapy orris, with a faint hint of pickles over the whole thing. Unisex. At one point, I did note a fleeting hint of powder, but it's really more a woody scent.
- ❌ At first I thought this was boring but I put it on a hot summer day and boy did this really open up! Love the smooth+sweet creamy dry down!
