S Eau Florale Shakira 2011

I wish this perfume had been around when I was a 10-year-old girl. It's simple, delightful, and moderately sweet. It's a musky vanillic blackberry that reminds me a bit of the Trish McEvoy No. 9 scent and a bit of Swedish Berries candy (not the gummi-bear type, but the ones that look like they have tiny little sugar pills as a coating). You're not going to leave vapor trails when wearing this one, but there is a moderate sillage. A couple of sprays would easily last all day. I'm seeing small bottles of it on eBay for less than $10 US, so those of you with young nieces or daughters may want to get this as a nice stocking stuffer for the holidays. (Those of us without young nieces or daughters may want it for ourselves as a guilty pleasure!)
