This strawberry deserves a review
One thing in advance: I'm not a sweetie.
But in one of my last perfume orders ran me Ser Al Khulood Gold over the way and I thought, nice composition and as a fruit note once not the seemingly ubiquitous raspberry.
So ordered for small money. After the delivery with several quite different fragrances had arrived with me I unpacked them, but did not yet come to test.
Then one day after work it was time. I grabbed the somewhat kitschy to silly designed outer box (wood grain, golden Arabic script and a golden stylized leaf, which is after opening the first hinged lid then solo on a second hinged lid).
The flacon is in my eyes rather pretty than ugly, definitely functional.
Not suspecting what I had to expect - since at that moment I did not even know what I had there and why I had ordered it - I gave a spray on each wrist.
What is this? Sweet syrup, medium-bodied, yet not viscous or sticky, was my first association. With a strange seeming, most likely oriental aura. Then I had to think of honey, but not in the sense of honey sweetness or actual honey taste. Rather in the sense of a distant memory of honey.
But then it came: a dark, fully ripe strawberry.
Sprinkled with sugar to let it draw juice. Perhaps also a strawberry pickled in sugar.
This ripe strawberry scent lasts a very long time on the skin, underpinned by the other notes, which however remain discreetly on the sidelines.
