Sweet and fruity yet smooth
I wouldn't blame anyone for seeing the notes of this fragrance and expecting a sickly sweet, over the top perfume. I'm sure by some standards it could be, but I agree with the many other reviews here that point out how well-grounded this fragrance is by the subtle vanilla and amber, the fresh zing of the green orange (kind of an oxymoron isn't it?), and the soft powdery floral from the gardenia. Ultimately strawberry candy is the star of the show, but I do think that the blackcurrant is obvious and balances it really well. Still a sweet gourmand but without being overpowering (especially as it dries down and you get more complexity). To me this feels like a slightly more grown-up version of those insanely sweet and fruity body sprays that were popular in the 00s and 10s, still really fun and intense but with a lot more going on.
