Floral Knockout
I am usually not overly strict with fragrances. I know that they are always connected to memories and associations. But here? I am simply irritated.
Looking at the notes, I expected an exotic, floral-fruity mix - lychee, ylang-ylang, Laotian honey. That sounded like a refined, seductive composition. But what I got was something completely different.
The opening? A full-on jasmine hurricane that strikes without warning. I wouldn't have been surprised if tuberose had been listed as well. This intensity of piercing, floral sweetness is downright overwhelming. And then the queen of the night, which does not harmonize but rather adds with piercing intensity. It is not just floral - it is overwhelming, almost a knockout punch.
And then the honey. Or rather: a syrupy sweet load that smells less like warm, golden honey and more like artificial syrup. It lacks elegance, balance - instead, it comes off like an over-the-top teenage perfume.
Those who enjoy sweet, floral fragrances with a lot of power might find happiness here. For me personally, it is simply too much.
