Thought I had smelled this fragrance somewhere and then I realised I have: smells like cheap drugstore product. Like that generic peony and rose body wash or body lotion that's on discount. Nothing wrong with drugstore or cheap products, but to put a pricepoint this high for a niche product? Yeah, nah.
It smells like peonies and roses. Sweet, floral and watered down. They have a distinctive synthetic freshness to it that's a no for me. I wouldn't call this shabby chic, more like everyday, discounted. As it moves on, the synthetic freshness absolutely obliterates the flowers that already had difficulties surviving on my skin. I do start getting some far away muskiness and a hint of woodiness, but if you're not paying attention and checking out the notes of this fragrance, the synthetic freshness remains the champion. Has skin-scent performance and doesn't radiate out very much.
Forgettable and definitely not something you want to buy at this price point. There are loads of better peonies and rose fragrances out there at much better pricepoints and with less synthetic freshness to it. I've smelled better peony and rose designer fragrances than this niche version. Hard pass for me.
