Inexpensive Fruity Floral

Peony, pineapple, melon and grapefruit are four examples of notes that I dislike when it comes to perfume. Seeing that all four of those notes I listed above feature in G's scent pyramid, one would assume that I would go running in the opposite direction. Surprisingly, G is not half bad.

You probably won't catch me wearing G in this lifetime, but you won't hear me dissing it either. For a fairly inexpensive fragrance, it's quite balanced and inoffensive. It's a great choice for anyone that loves fruity florals.

The grapefruit and melon opening is fairly subdued, watery almost, which for me is a relief. The pineapple note is candied, not nearly as acidic as I thought it would be.

The heart is a peachy floral. Peony and I don't usually get along, but in G it is tolerable. The floral touch is actually quite pleasant. I found the peony, peach and pineapple blend to last well into the drydown.

Seeing that I expected to vehemently dislike Giorgio Beverly Hill's G, it's nice to conclude my testing knowing full well that every fragrance is worth a chance. A cheap price tag is not always a bad thing.

A Nice Surprise

I came across a tester of this today and decided to give it a try because I like Giorgio (the original). Since I was on my way out the shop, I sprayed it on a tester-strip and put in my coat pocket. When I finally came home and emptied my pocket...I smelled this wonderful smell. The tester-strip had 'blossomed' into a drydown in my coat and was scenting the air.

What a pretty perfume this is! Peony mingling with ginger, a soft orchid note is cooling down with a slice of lemon that was caught flirting with a pineapple - and this scene was watched by a sandalwood note that smiled!

I never thought this combination could work! But it does! Despite the fruits it's more floral than fruity with a very faint sandalwood base-note.
I must sample this on my skin and see if the note that worries me (the pineapple) won't turn sour. If I get the same result as on the tester-strip I have to add this one to my collection. YUM!

I will keep you posted! But in the meantime...go on and sample it. It might surprise you like it did me. : )

The magic three words

Hello G, many years ago we were inseparable and you were my only bottle. You were a gift at a time when I wouldn't dream of spending my pocket money on a perfume. I liked you and thanks to you, I was first told the magic three words "you smell good". That's how it started and my passion for all things that smell good took off. Then you were used up and disappeared. You made way for many new discoveries on a journey through the world of scents that continues to this day. I remember looking for you some time ago and not finding you. Discontinued - what a shame. It was only by chance and today's diverse online retail options that I found you again. After so many years, you're back and I couldn't wait for that first spray. G, you haven't changed - I have though. You still start out sweet, turn floral fresh and stay pleasant on the skin for a while until you're just gone. I still like you. Don't be mad at me because in the meantime I've broadened my scent horizons and I have to tell you that there are now other scents that I find nicer. You will be part of my collection from now on and for sure I will wear you again - in summer on warm skin. You are the beginning of my love for fragrance story and hence my first comment. Yours D
