Raspberry with staying power
First scent is a Raspberry and strawberry with a slight pink pepper fizz (although it’s not pink pepper. Maybe it's the mild peppery quality of *cyclamen which has a pepper quality to it. This note remains subtle throughout.)
After 5 minutes, there’s sweet green with a little tang. Rhubarb can be tricky for me; I don't always like it, but here I do.
15 min: something tart but light. There’s cherry thinged raspberry in the background. I’m not sure how this projects. I think it's about arm's length. The amber wood begins to surface. It’s woody, slightly sweet, and resinous (but NOT incense or smokey). Powdery rose cloud forms.
The first hour and fruit notes are hanging in there~ not like candy. Just a pulpy ripe fruit blend, a raspberry with depth. Rose along with a sweet resinous amber wood. Still a little peppery.
3-4 hours: still fruity, a fresh, warm, resinous fruit. That light peppery quality is there, too, along with a warm base of amber wood. From here on, the fragrance remains basically the same. The prick of pepper suits the rose nicely.
6 hours and the raspberry is there and not candy unlike Room 1015 Wavechild.
For a fruit, the staying power is of the raspberry is amazing. This is raspberry with a delicious tang.
Overall, I think this is a well crafted fragrance for a good price.
*According to Alpha Aromatics, cyclamen is sometimes described as clean, fragile, rose or lily-tinged with the slightest nuance of pepper. If anyone understand cyclamen in fragrance, please comment.
