English Cherry Blossom Shay & Blue 2016

Once again the opportunity, completely uninfluenced by other comments, to describe my impression of a fragrance.

With an order, I have me a filling of "English Cherry Blossom" sent along. Therefore, I can not make any information or evaluation of the packaging and the bottle.

The first impression of the fragrance - freshly washed still damp hair. Do not ask me where the association comes from. Whether someone in my circle uses a shampoo which goes in this direction, or I perceived that at the hairdresser once. It could also be a hint of hairspray that resonates. Which is definitely not meant in a negative way.

The scent starts out fresh, green, citrusy, with easily noticeable cherry blossoms, slightly tangy - pungent , but not at all annoying. I suspect this comes from the green tangerine.
In the course is a pleasant fruity sweetness perceptible, whether that now comes from black currants and black cherries, I can not confirm. What is noticeable, however, is a slight astringency behind the flowers, which could be reminiscent of the aroma of blackcurrants.
The cool, tangy loses something with time and goes into a slightly warmer heart note.
The scent didn't show much development on my skin, it just wears off peu à peu over time. The listed cherry wood in the base remains hidden from me and the iris could also be imagination, because it is listed with.

All in all, a beautiful floral fragrance with a lot of volume at the beginning. The durability and sillage are for this price range, in my eyes, perfectly fine.
The scent is noticeable throughout the day every now and then and after about 6 hrs on half an arm length perceptible.

I am absolutely no friend of regulations / recommendations for whom a fragrance is intended. Most men would probably say that smells feminine, clear that is also called "English Cherry Blossom" and the flowers dominate this fragrance. In my eyes, everyone must decide for themselves. I for my part, find the very appealing and will definitely order a small bottle, for the spring and early summer.
