The Tornado That Doesn't Sweep Anything Away
The name is already promising - you rarely come across a fragrance called "the blonde tornado." Interesting. The packaging is also very promising - but the content does not move me at all. It is indeed a tornado that doesn't sweep anything away. Without power and without any force. It merely passes by - through my thoughts and my senses.
The scent is simply constructed, totally one-dimensional floral, a bit rough, sweet with a gentle touch of orange blossom and jasmine sambac. Yawn! Such fragrances are everywhere. Even in the lowest price category. This one, in my opinion, is the worst of the trio and doesn't last long on the wearer. My husband also sniffed me when I wore it. He said the scent smells like all the €5 rubbish. I apologize for the statement, but that was his first impression of the fragrance. Admittedly, it does not come across as elegant, not at all neat, and you certainly don't smell like a one million baby here. The fragrance hardly develops on my skin either. It starts slightly citrusy, with a distinct hint of rhubarb. Very interesting, I thought at first. But soon my senses were overwhelmed by flowers that are not quite ripe and have seen little sun. Clearly rough at the beginning. It scratches everywhere. Somehow unpleasant. Orange blossoms flutter around, mixed with jasmine. A bit woody on the edge, with little vanilla in the background. I'm sulking - because somehow I've smelled such things a hundred times before! I can still detect a bit of rose, but it's clearly flat and not significant to me. What was called a tornado here remains a mystery to me. I find the scent extremely boring, and there isn't even a feeling of liking or disliking. I actually don't care, and when I don't care about something, you can imagine how it feels to apply such emptiness to the skin.
Not much comes from it either - it wants to convey a bit of warmth, cuddles up to me, but I keep my distance. There is nothing that would spark a connection. It doesn't even last a silly four hours on me, and the sillage is comparable to a church mouse. Fine for the office, but for anything else - no, not at all. Fairly speaking, it falls in the average range, but it’s not something to run away from (although it should be like that with a tornado ;) )
