Like a nostalgic Garnier hair care product
Skylar is one of the brands I've been following since my early days into this hobby. I've gone through what their house has to offer (excluding their Scent Club exclusives) and even now I'm still on the lookout when there's a new release from them. Been quite curious to see how they'd interpret a citrusy fragrance, so I got myself the travel size to test it out.
The first few minutes of this scent are exquisite. It smells bright, zesty, uplifting and sweet. Tangy notes of pink pineapple intertwine with the fresh flesh of blood oranges and rangpurs. Slightly acidic, but never too sour. After a few minutes, the scent veers off into synthetic territory. It starts smelling a bit like a generic fruity floral perfume. "Generic" as in not bad, but still something I've smelled before: reminded me of a Garnier hair care product. It stays sweet, fruity, fresh and slightly floral throughout but the notes become harder to pick apart. Couldn't tell the freesia from the orange blossom, although I do think both provided this fresh, clean accord. Rose water was probably added to keep everything in the sweet territory. The drydown is a warm musky, sweet skin scent.
It's certainly not bad. It smells clean and fresh. It's something you wear when you want a simple fragrance that won't offend anyone. It's safe for warm weather and probably for layering. I do have to say that the projection is quite weak, but most of the notes in this perfume are quite volatile which explains why. It doesn stick quite close to the skin and lasts a bit longer than what I thought it would. The thing is... the synthetic part, the functional aspect of shampoo in this scent is a bit too big for me to ignore. I'll be using up my travel size and I don't regret purchasing one, but it won't make it in my collection as a full bottle.
