A garden full of fruit trees and powdery florals
Once again, I fall upon an accessible fragrance from Zoologist, one that can be worn easily and does fit the brief of its spirit animal quite well.
I picture a lush garden full of flowers and fruit trees, much bountiful. The smell of nectar, strong like honey, permeates the air. I can't really make out all the individual notes listed here (and even for a trained nose, that might be more difficult), but what comes to the front of my skin are the plum and citrus notes with some fresh, floral and powdery accords. Unfortunately, it's the strong powdery accord that turned me off from this scent. It smells like vintage, old makeup. My boyfriend said it reminded him of cleaning products unfortunately. Worst thing is, the powdery accord lasts a very long time on my skin. When it finally subsides, I get a lovely drydown of fruity sweetness, of warmth and creaminess.
If it wasn't for that powdery accord, I would've probably gone for a full bottle. It's a very accessible fragrance, feminine-leaning and perfect for spring and early summer. The notes were lovely, the ensemble magnificent, but that powdery aspect... Unfortunately, not my thing.
