One of BBW's best - a creamy frangipani smoothie delight
This used to be one of my favorites from BBW. I purchased a 20 year old bottle just to see if there was any semblance of what I remembered.
This is the epitome of smelling "fresh out of the shower" - the ultimate fruity-floral-fresh-shampoo scent, that no other shampoo or fragrance captures in the way this does.
The bulk of it is frangipani: "creamy", "candy-like" and slightly "yellow", mixed with tiare. The base is refreshingly cool, watery, and ozonic.
Everything is blended so well that nothing stands out. A creamy-but-fruity frangipani smoothie doesn't exist IRL - but it feels like I'm drinking one when I wear this!
I have yet to run across another perfume or fragrance that smells like this. It will always be one of my most favorites. And to my younger self: you had great taste - I'm amazed this really is as good as I remembered it being!
(Note: the latest re-release, for 2023 June SAS, is very close to the original and projects well/has great longevity!)
