Whats In A Name...?
::NB I have a different listing of notes than shown here. Lily of the valley is a listed note and noticeable too::
Lily of the valley is on me one of those notes that dominates a scent on my skin, so when I saw lily as a top note in this fragrance I didn't even bother to test it. Dumb, because FCUK has other fragrances that I like. So, when I finally tested it I was surprised at how well balanced and 'controlled' the lily note is. The peony and jasmine have a tight hold on her, with a helping hand from a powdery violet, a feisty rose and --can it be?-- a spicy cinnamon/sandalwood note that is on the lookout far away but still noticeable.
It's a fun mellow and yummy scent. It's reminiscent of She Wood (I can detect the powdery yet fresh violet notes they both share) but FCUK Her Fragrance is more floral. This is a pretty spring/summer/office scent that is tender and lovely.
Of course I can't ignore the attention the name: FCUK gets; well, FCUK is a -rather young- fashion brand in the UK and is obviously playing a game with missing vowels and rearranging letters to get just the effect that most people have when reading it. "WHAT is that called?!"
Well, FCUK stands for French Connection United Kingdom. And that's all folks....Don't judge this one by its name (or the other scrabble meaning of it) and try it. It's inexpensive and lovely and they have a few pretty scents to choose from.
The bottle is a love or hate design, I don't care for the design, it's rather heavy and has a tiny base to stand on which makes the bottle fall over at the slightest touch. Also, the pump action is a bit rigid, but considering the friendly price and the lovely juice in it I can live with it till my 100ML are gone.
Silage is: a wonderful white floral cloud with a dusty violet -- Longevity is: a tender but pretty 5+ hours.
