Sweet, synthetic, stuffy, bad..
Hi folks! In the new year now, in olfactory terms, I have resolved to comment on more men's fragrances, or at least to test as many men's as women's fragrances. And now I come to a... women's scent!!! Yes ha ha ha ha... my project still has a few teething problems, I admit, but that is only because my sample boxes are probably 80% filled with women's fragrances...
Yes yes,... there are some perfumas who actually like me and send me some samples every now and then to test them (aah, that's very nice :))! But it looks like no guy here likes me, so no one will provide me with samples of men's scent *sigh* :DD Argh, that sounds really stupid! D
Heh heh heh, all right. So let's move on to a women's scent, as I said. Today we're talking about Ever Bloom (EDP) by Shiseido, a brand that should be quite well known and which, among other things, has brought out the excellent Zen (Zen is really worth a test, by the way!). Let's see what Ever Bloom smells like.
Other sweet notes could come from the sylkolids. I have no idea what sylcolides really are, but according to the description it is a synthetically produced, sweetish fragrance that resembles musk and amber. I'd go for musk more here, because little by little a musky scent is rising.
Besides there are flowery notes, which I can't identify exactly and which at first smell a little bit stuffy now and then, which would still be okay. Unfortunately, the stuffy notes get annoying especially at the base, as the scent then (at least for me) even starts to smell extremely stuffy (and then, by the way, also reminds a bit of ylang-ylang). So it doesn't help that the fragrance has creamy beginnings to make it look softer.
The silage and the durability:*
The sillage is really strong at the beginning, because you are enveloped in a very large cloud of scent, which many can smell very well on one. With time, however, the radiation levels off in the normal average. The shelf life is still okay with about six or seven hours.
That is a pity, but it is not the end of the world, because every manufacturer produces worse scents, and despite my criticism, this one is not necessarily bad, and some people can do something with such scents. You just have to try it yourself to see what I mean, although I can imagine that most people might not like it that much.
It would be usable in springtime, when you are jumping around (yeah, best in short dresses... okay I'm already silent!... *sigh* :D) and where it is not yet too hot for the intense sweetness of the fragrance. He is more suited to leisure time and going out, as he might get on the nerves of most people at work in the long run.
Well, that's it. Shiseido has better scents in stock, as I said, you better have a look at Zen, because this scent is really great! Okay, I'm done with that now, and as always, have a good evening to you all! See you next time :)
