Smooth Lavender
Some time ago, I bought the Fragrance Mist of this scent online because it was very inexpensive. And I was quite taken with it. However, it somehow ended up with my daughter (that seems to happen more and more). She was supposed to order me the Eau de Parfum. Again, I didn't listen properly, something with rose. So I got the Embrace - Rose Buds and Vanilla Eau de Toilette. That one was really nothing, very synthetic and piercing.

But then I finally got it.

A glass bottle, square with a plastic cap, quite simple. But I like it plain.

I can hardly perceive the mandarin; right from the start, I get the lavender, which I don't find to be that sweet. I can't identify the tuberose either; I see it more as a very subtle rose accompaniment. A friend always makes this gagging noise when she finds one of my scents too powdery. She doesn't do that with this one. But honestly, I don't ask her anything about my scents.

For me, it's a predominant lavender scent with a rosy undertone on a vanilla base. The vanilla here only provides a slightly sweet carpet on which the smooth lavender rests calmly. The longevity is good for me, over 7 hours. I will probably never be able to assess the sillage. I was around people earlier, but they didn't say that I smelled good. They said, "Oh, that bicycle belongs to you." I say, despite a pulse of 180, I smelled relaxed.

Lavender and "Tuberose"?
What does one do when there is too much to say for a statement and sees that there is no review for this fragrance yet? Right, one writes a review. Personally, I like to write a review only after testing it multiple times, so I will now share my scent impression with you:

The scent is lavender sugary cotton candy sweet, with a light cocoa note, so it’s not a herbal lavender, but a sweet one like the one from "R.E.M. | Ariana Grande." You also get a gentle hint of vanilla, more powdery.
But the tuberose? Not on my skin. I usually perceive tuberose as rather dominant. Maybe my nose is broken, or the other notes are simply more dominant and I can't detect it. It becomes a bit creamy; perhaps that is due to the tuberose?
Thus, the main accords for me are the cotton candy lavender and the cocoa.

Still a lovely scent, cozy, calm, and warm.
The sillage could be stronger for me, as well as the longevity.

Poor lavandin buried under sugar, spiced with vanilla- + orange aroma. Plus a pinch of cocoa. Tubi has escaped. Only synthetic.

Wow, unexpectedly great scent. Cotton candy sweet start, a brief flash of mandarin. Then delicious chocolate and a hint of coconut. Awesome!

For me, it’s 1:1 like Oriental Bloom Eau de Parfum, so I see this as a summer scent.
Lavender yes, tuberose no. Sweet!

Sweet, slightly citrusy lavender cotton candy scent. I haven't smelled such sweet lavender before. It feels a bit synthetic, I think.

Starts with an authentic lavender. What lingers is a vanilla mandarin scent. S/D could be better…

Unfortunately, there's too little lavender and cocoa for me to smell, not a candidate for repurchase.
