Fruity Green Sexyness

Panda smells so good to me.

A combination of apple/tea/bambu with a very slight earthy touch.

I feel this is just an attractive sexy perfume, although its price is veeery bad!

Sprayer is one of the best in the market.

At least no weird smell here, but just a sexy attractive fresh fragrance.

pissy panda

You take a step into a bamboo forest right after the rain, then another one, three, four.
You go deep down the forest and there are pandas playing with eachother and eating bamboo.
The ground smells earthy and a little pissy. the pandas are pissing on the ground and a humid pissy but earthy green odour emerges from it.

green, earthy and pissy.

Ditzy antique apple

The opening is apple-forward, airy, and pissy with the chemical tinge of lotion. At its core, it is a fresh, fruity scent in the same sour family as L'Impératrice; however, it dries down more sensibly than that. In its last hours, it’s earthy, floral, and sweet—very darling with an added vintage air. Cute.

Sweet green roots

Surprised to hear this one is often deemed the house’s friendliest composition. Personally, I find the contrast of damp sweetness and bitter earthy greenness slightly off-putting. I had similar issues with Saint Julep, but this is still way smoother and less chemical. Perhaps if the composition was slightly less sweet, I’d better appreciate the lovely, tender green notes—like fresh baby bamboo shoots emerging from the soil. Admirable work, but not something I’d personally reach for.

Panda gets dressed up

Alright so this is not as apple forward on me as other fragrantica reviewers have pointed out. The shower gel vibe is still there, but not apple shower gel. The opening does have quite a bit of fecal material as well - almost reminds me of a little kid who's been running around in freshly cut grass and stepped in dog poo.
So yeah, this does have a youthful nature to it for me, and actually feels like a good daily driver for that reason. Especially because the middle and drydown of this scent is beautiful. It's almost like a conglomeration of some male and female mass appealing fragrance with a hint of sophistication. I think those 'earthy' notes are really adding to that appeal. Debating to pick up a full bottle.

The only terrible issue I ran into with this scent was when it was raining. I had to walk to my classes in the rain with this on and I felt like I was doused in 50-in-1 shower gel for the rest of the day. Terribly nauseous and cloying. Now I know this ain't a good humid fragrance.
