To start right away: I find this flanker very well done!
This fragrance begins beautifully with a fruity sweet pear. Jasmine quickly emerges as well, but of the bright, cheerful kind. As the fruity top note recedes and is replaced by sweet vanilla, lavender comes in quite intensely, adding a spice to the cheerful jasmine-pear compote, without which this scent would have sunk into irrelevance for me. I don't explicitly smell vanilla as such, but a warm sweetness is consistently noticeable, which never becomes overwhelming.
What surprised me, however, were the reactions to this fragrance. Hardly sprayed on in the morning, I already hear next to me, "Ohhh, THAT smells really good!" from someone who could hardly care less about fragrances. "Oh, really that good?" I think and take a closer sniff. Later, after refreshing it again - the longevity isn't that great - I hear from a perfume lover, "You smell like ... mhh ... spring!". At least right after application, it seems to turn heads!
It's not demanding, but it is pleasing, that can be said. I understand where the Libre comparisons come from, but the vibe is definitely different, I think. Libre has a bit more edge, while Sparkling Bouquet is more playful and friendly. In terms of mood, this flanker stays true to the original and gets closer to it in the dry down as well. However, it comes across less sweet, but rather fruitier and more sparkling.
No revolution, but I had a lot of joy with this sparkling bouquet!
I was very disappointed with the scent - right after spraying it, it's heavenly, but then it developed a musty note on my skin.
Big surprise -- now, after over a year, it smells completely different on me.
I suspect that the vanilla has matured and taken away the musty smell :-).
I also think you described the scent perfectly! I really like the fragrance; you can easily spray a little more without it being overwhelming. And yes, I can confirm the compliments-I get approached about it often, and I love smelling it on my jacket. It has a lovely fresh, clean scent, but it also has that enticing sweetness that remains appealing without being cloying. Yum yum, I like!
