I reallyyy love this fragrance. I'm about halfway through the discovery set and this is honestly one of the best to me.
At first spray, it's raspberry, rose and punch, with a slight citrus edge. The punch isn't exactly a Hawaiian/Hi-C fruit punch, it's more like a generic punch they serve in the big plastic bowls at school dances or church dinners.
Despite the sugar in this, it's not super noticeably sweet as it blends into the background to support the other notes really well. The sandalwood is even more subtle, ever-so-slightly providing some stiffness that further edifies the overall scent.
Altogether, the notes become a rose-infused punch to cool you down on a hot day. It all feels very bright, fun, refreshing and flirty—like a summer fling on an extended vacation that you never want to end but know that it must once August rolls around.
Over the first few hours, it gets a little punchier but then, over the latter half of the wear, the fruitiness backs down while the rose holds steady. This lasted for about ten hours on my skin.
Overall, I cannot praise this perfume enough. It's just really fun and if you enjoy fruity florals like me, this should be right up your alley. Each Imaginary Authors perfume has a note I've never tried before and the punch note in this was amazing.
