I got this as a 2 ml sample almost a year ago and found it again yesterday. I was curious since there is a lot of hype around CH's fragrances (even if a few people are on my side regarding the hideous gendered bottles). I sprayed 2 sprays on my forearms and immediately asked my partner, "can you feel any smell?".
The fragrance is a weak, most synthetic rose, more like a rose scented soap bar or kids shampoo than a perfume. I'm almost anosmic to it, the only note of the top- and heart that I can feel is the rosewater. How much does this perfume cost again...?
The drydown comes quickly after about 2 hours. Again I'm surprised by the abysmal quality of the notes. No vetiver to my nose, only an extremely headache inducing vanilla. I'm almost impressed - it's so weak, yet so irritating. Mind you I'm not sensitive to fragrance, I enjoy 80's flower bombs and even 90's cinnamon notes.
If CH had chosen higher quality ingredients this might have been OK and matched it's price range. I'm missing the cherry, almond, and vetiver. I'm afraid this would have been better off as that bar of soap.
