Look Vera Wang 2008

...this is what this wonderfully summery-light fragrance radiates for me! The mandarin in the opening is beautifully soft, citrusy, and bright on the skin, it takes the sunbeams by the hand and cuddles right into my nose....this is the "scentified" summer for me! No clouds in the sky, blue on blue, as far as the eye can see, the crickets are chirping and there is a pleasant, dry warmth that does good for the mood and simply everything! I would love to have it like this for 10 months a year ;-) the lychee sneaks in just a tiny bit in the background alongside the mandarin, but it can definitely be sensed......this dreamy top note stays very long and pleasantly on my skin...after that, it flows seamlessly into a bouquet dominated by freesias and cooperating with jasmine...I honestly can't find the water lily, but it doesn't matter! My beloved musk-patchouli blend gives it a deep, slightly cozy aspect, the vanilla is hardly noticeable to me, which doesn't bother me since I'm not a big vanilla fan and LOOK thus remains wonderfully unsweet from start to the beautiful finish! The fragrance is rather close to the body, which is delightful on hot days, I can't say anything about the longevity yet, I hope for a long one...One should not overdo LOOK, as it can become slightly biting! Conclusion: a brilliant summer companion that radiates joy of life and extends the most wonderful season a little! Positive side effect....it is available at sensationally low prices, no one knows why that is, but it doesn't matter.....
