Disappointing
Seraphim Blue promised to be something refreshing, a different kind of fragrance experience with its aquatic, fresh, and powdery accords, but it doesn't really come out that way. Right from the first plug, it smells synthetic and unbalanced. It is supposed to be a symphony of apple, eucalyptus, and lavender notes, but it turns into some really harsh, almost medicinal-like smell, pretty far from pleasant. As it develops, it becomes this confusing blend of marine and floral that clashes with each other rather than fuses together. The result is a muddled, uninviting scent that really fails to capture any sense of sophistication or allure.
The dry down, which one might hope may redeem this fragrance, is no better. Instead of a smooth, lingering finish, Seraphim Blue concludes with something a bit musty, almost stale, neither delighting nor impressing. The weak longevity and sillage might be counted as small mercies, in that the fragrance will at least quickly die into obscurity, not leaving much of an initial assault on the senses. But overall, Seraphim Blue is best left on the shelf—it's, quite literally, not granted finesse and coherent makeup that would have made for a great scent.
