But where is the almond blossom?

This has such a misleading name and packaging. The perfume neither smells like almond blossoms, nor does it remind me in any way of the Van Gogh painting. In fact it's not even particularly floral. Or almondy.

It's a sweet, fruity scent with a harsh undertone that makes me think of men's shower gel. Nothing in the notes list hints to it, but there is definitely something scratchy in here that totally ruins the start for me.
The drydown is a little better: the sharpness calms down, vanilla, mandarin and passion fruit become clearer and more prominent. At this point it's slightly tropical and creamy. I enjoy vanilla with citrus or tart fruity notes, so it's kind of nice by bow, but not mind-blowing in any way.

All in all the scent is okay (I guess), but nothing more. A bit undefined and forgettable. It could easily be a celeb or drugstore fragrance.
And it doesn't capture the calming vibe of the painting at all. If I had to choose a color for this, I'd go for bright yellow, not the greenish blue that is the main color here.
