Super Expensive Gourmand
Freshly applied → Bitter chemical (and doesn't seem to have a very good effect on the human body)
Next, it smells vintage. It definitely feels like the 60s or 70s. But in the background, there are candy notes that resemble cotton candy.
The hard green scent becomes soft and sweet. To be honest, about 70% of people would say "I hate it" when they first applied it.
But after about 3 minutes, I was surprised. Instead of cornstarch, it smells like marshmallows with Guerlain face powder. The color of the marshmallows is not vanilla white, but a light pink, with a slightly artificial strawberry flavor. I don't feel any leather at all. I think the middle notes are probably made to reproduce the marshmallow, so it's not that floral. To be honest, I couldn't detect the orange blossom unless I looked at the notes. This scent continues faintly and then disappears. Somehow, it felt like something Holly Golightly from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" would wear. I think she would look good with a houndstooth jacket.
It's a lovely scent but when I saw the price of the bottle I was put off - I think half the price for 75ml would be appropriate.
