Fly Away and Bal d' Afriques love child
For those who just want a quick description:
Take the opening from Mugler Fly Away and combine it with the musk from Bal d'Afrique
For those who have time to read my experience:
It starts off with a burst of grapefruit - not really juicy but more rindy and zesty. It reminds me of the opening of Mugler Fly Away minus the herbaceous notes. I am not really sure if I really like it - it has quite a sharp feel in my nose. As is dries down a bit the musk immediately becomes apparent. Its very soft and fuzzy which makes me believe the used a lot of nitromusks. If you have smelled Byredos Bal d'Afrique or Banana Republics 90 Pure White you know what I mean. Slight tropical fruits sometimes spark through - subdue and pleasant. In the further dry down it envelopes you with this clean skin accord that actually lingers around for quite some time. Interesting enough the grapefruit can still be detected in the drydown.
Once you get past the initial grapefruit burst, it actually becomes a well-rounded and nicely crafted perfume. You get absolutely no associations with cleaning products (which can sometimes be a problem with citric scents) and it is not copying any other fragrances... yea it may has taken some inspiration from Mugler Fly Away but the drydown is unique enough.
Shyamala Maisondieu has given the Light Blue line an urgently needed update. Whereas the last Alberto Morillas flankers seemed somewhat uninspired and rushed, I think she has taken here time and made a Light Blue scent fun again.
