I've been wearing this scent lately when I'm in the mood for an individual everyday fragrance. For shopping, for a Sunday stroll in the park, or just because the sun is shining and I'm looking forward to summer.
Unlike some other noses, I don't detect overripe fruits here at all; on the contrary. The mango would still be too green for me to eat, the orange tastes like freshly squeezed, slightly under-ripe juice, but without any bitterness, and I can't identify the clementine.
The blend of jasmine, heliotrope, and rose leaves me a bit puzzled; I can't pick out any single nuance, just a pleasantly fragrant mixture of various flowers, it has a quality reminiscent of a high-end soap/hand cream. And that's by no means a bad thing; I like it.
The vanilla joins in quite early, and I don't detect any bitter almond, as reported in the comments here (thankfully!).
It all ends with a softly sweet patchouli note and doesn't cost the earth. For a gift, whether for oneself or for someone else, a lovely choice!
