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.
