Is banana flower in the room with us right now?
Creamy tuberose, sweet jasmine. But the banana flower, which to me was the star of the original Daisy Wild composition, here is just a humid greenish backdrop. Fuzzy and completely out of focus. Why? :(
This version is cute, pleasant and well rounded, don't get me wrong! But there are already so many other perfumes on the market which are all about jasmine or tuberose. Banana flower was the thing that made Daisy Wild unique and special. What's "intense" about making another forgettable sweet floral perfume out of it?
Moderate starting sillage, a bit less than an arm's length. Takes ~1,5 hours to settle on skin. At this point flowers start melting into the ambery background. A spritz of sandalwood keeps things fresh, everything works together well, it smells good. I feel... completely indifferent.
In another ~1,5 hours flowers fade away. Sandalwood becomes the most noticeable note. Softly sweet, ambery, very flat. From this point onwards it starts to sour, but also becomes faint enough to be easily ignored until you find the time to shower. Takes another ~3 hours to disappear entirely. It wasn't bad, but, like, what was it even for?
