Yuki ゆき Miya Shinma 2012

Stunning vanilla-lavander combo
Today I’m trying a lavender-based perfume — a note that’s usually a bit tricky for me. But Yuki totally takes me aback.
It opens with this insanely creamy, almost edible lavender. Rich, smooth, and kind of addictive. After about 10 minutes the lavender leaves the floor to a warm wave of vanilla and woods. After the first 30 minutes or so do I start picking up gorgeous herbal notes (which, honestly, I wish were a bit stronger — rather than the sweeter ones).
Overall, it’s a beautiful fragrance — bold and energizing. Not exactly calming, but definitely something special. Longevity and projection are both seriously impressive!
