🌸 Notes & Scent Profile
Here are the layers (top, heart, base) and what they tend to contribute to the scent journey:
Stage | Notes | What It Smells Like / Feel |
---|---|---|
Top | Apple, Lychee, Rose | A burst of sweet fruitiness (apple + lychee) with a rosy edge. The opening is juicy, fresh, a little bright, playful. Some liken it to a “candied apple” or “fruit juice” vibe. |
Heart | Jasmine, Plum, Magnolia, Labdanum, Amber, Solar Note | Adds floral richness and deeper sweetness. The plum gives a juicy sweetness, the jasmine/magnolia bring in soft florals, labdanum & amber warm things up. This middle phase makes it more luxurious and less like just a “fruit bomb.” |
Base | Moss, Vanilla, Patchouli, (Caramel Oud in some descriptions) | Earthy, sweet, a bit resinous. The vanilla softens, giving a creamy sweetness. Moss adds a bit of green/earthy grounding. Patchouli adds depth. Some say it gives a “warm woods + sweetness” finish. |
🧾 What People Say / Impressions
Here’s how it’s perceived by users — what people like, what they don’t, how it performs.
Likes / Strong Points:
-
Many appreciate how juicy and fruity the opening is — apple + lychee + rose is a winning combination for them.
-
It has more complexity than just a straight fruit scent: the floral heart and woody / sweet base give it character.
-
Value for money is often mentioned: a good price for a fragrance that gives noticeable projection and good longevity, especially for the cost.
Weaknesses / What Some Dislike:
-
Some find the base (especially moss, patchouli) can turn “earthy” or even “dirt‑like” on their skin.
-
The initial fruit burst can be synthetic or overly “sweet” for people who prefer more natural or subtle scents.
-
Longevity on skin varies: some users report it fades after a few hours but lasts much longer on clothes.
⚙️ Performance: Longevity & Projection
-
Longevity: On skin, many say around 6‑9 hours (some more optimistic, some less), on clothes much longer.
-
Sillage / Projection: Stronger at first (especially during the fruity/floral opening), moderate as time goes on. It tends to project well early, then becomes more intimate.
🎨 Character & Vibe
-
Sweet, fruity, lively, with a modern twist.
-
Feminine‑leaning in its fruit + floral top & heart, but tempered by earthy, woody, and slightly warm base — so the “unisex” label is fitting; might lean more “sweet floral fruit” in the early phase.
-
Feels more day‑wear / casual / social / happy scent than heavy, formal, smoky. Could work for evenings too, depending on setting & how much you apply.
🔗 Comparisons & Notes
-
Some users compare it to Kayali Eden Juicy Apple — indeed, the apple + sweet fruit opening seems to draw that parallel.
-
If you like perfumes with juicy fruit openings (apple, berry, lychee) followed by sweet/vanilla/woody bases, this might appeal. If you prefer more subtle, woody, or more traditionally “oudy” (smoky, resinous) fragrances, this might diverge from expectations.
