Paris Hilton tries a white floral
White florals tend to be making a comeback, particularly in the celebrity market. Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears have shown this trend in recent years, and I must say that I'm happy to see florals being worn again. I get sick of smelling fruity gourmands all the time on passers-by.
Tease is a white floral, as you may have guessed. It is a difficult fragrance to compose and only some houses have managed to do this floral group justice, for example, Fracas by Robert Piguet and Kai. Parlux has tried hard, and the result is passable, but not the best.
The gardenia note features well in Tease, being light, naturally sweet and creamy. The red apple note tries to make the scent slightly fruity and crisp, yet the effect it has on the florals is more watery and bland.
Throughout the heart and the drydown, Tease smells more and more like floral scented soap and bath products, which could be nice for some, but boring for me. The hot sand accord in the drydown is just plain weird to my nose. It smelt like musty air.
The longevity is terrible, which is a shame because I wanted to experience more of Tease. I think it's one of her better scents, particularly in terms of composition. But I can't say that Tease struck me down as anything overtly sexual or for that matter, anything a Marilyn Monroe type would wear.
