🌸 Notes & Scent Profile
Here are the layers — what you smell in the top, the heart, and the base — and how they contribute to the overall fragrance.
| Layer | Notes | How It Smells / What It Feels Like |
|---|---|---|
| Top (Opening) | Green Mandarin, Blackcurrant | Bright, fruity, a bit tart. The green mandarin gives a citrusy, fresh sparkle; the blackcurrant adds a juicy berries/tart sweetness that gives an edge. |
| Heart (Middle) | Strawberry Fizz Candy, Gardenia | Very sweet and candy‑like. The “strawberry fizz candy” note gives a playful, sugar rush effect; gardenia brings in a creamy, white floral touch that softens the sweetness a bit. |
| Base (Dry‑down) | Sandalwood, Vanilla Syrup, Musk, Amber | Warm, smooth, cozy. The vanilla syrup makes it gourmand and dessert‑like; sandalwood gives woodiness and depth; musk and amber add softness, warmth, and longevity. |
⚙️ Behavior: Longevity & Projection
What people are saying:
-
Longevity: Moderate. It tends to last a decent amount of time, especially on clothes. On skin, the intense sweetness (top/heart) fades after a few hours, and then it becomes more subtle.
-
Projection / Sillage: Strong early on — the fruity candy notes are noticeable. As it dries down, it becomes more intimate. Many say it becomes more of a skin scent after some hours.
👍 What People Like & 👎 What Some Don’t
| What People Like | What People Dislike / Be Aware Of |
|---|---|
| • Fun, youthful, playful vibe — the candy theme is strong and many enjoy that sweet “treat‑like” character. • The fruity opening is bright and appealing; gives a good burst of juicy energy. • The base makes it warm and comforting; vanilla + musk etc. soften the candy so it doesn’t stay overwhelming. • Good value for what it delivers. |
• It is very sweet — might be cloying or too “kid‑like” / “candy shop”‑y if you don’t like gourmand‑heavy fragrances. • Some people find the “candy fizz” or synthetic sweetness a bit harsh in the opening. • The base/floral notes might seem less prominent once it dries down — so what you get in first may differ significantly from after a couple of hours. • Longevity & projection drop off after the first phases, becoming softer. Some users wish it lasted more strongly later in the day. • Some say the scent formula is more synthetic / candy‑sweet than natural floral / fruity. |
🎯 Vibe & Best Occasions
-
Very suited to daytime wear, casual settings, mood boosters. When you want something fun, sweet, indulgent.
-
Warmer weather tends to help bring out the fruit and sweetness; in cold weather the sweet base can feel more intense.
-
If you love gourmand scents (vanilla, candy, sweet fruits) this is likely to appeal. If you prefer clean / fresh / woody / more “natural” scents, this may be sweeter than you usually go for.
-
Also works well if you like layering — you might layer with creams, or even over a subtle musk layer to moderate the sweetness.
