Kyoto in Bloom Glasshouse 2019 Eau de Parfum
1
Floral Dole Whip
Opens with a sweet, creamy, pineapple and citrus splash backed by watery florals.
After about 20 min this mellows to a camellia-forward heart, which eventually gives way to a pillowy, marshmallow-adjacent vanilla and amber base (patchouli where???).
I’m not into sugary scents as those notes tend to tilt toward saccharine on my skin, but I was pleasantly surprised that while this is undeniably sweet, it never went over the edge into cloying.
It’s not normally the kind of fragrance I go for, but my husband (who is often not a fan of my more esoteric taste in fragrance :D) promptly informed me that he really liked it.
Projection is on the higher end of moderate, and longevity is around 6 hours. Very feminine coded due to the sweet fruits, creamy florals, and vanilla (but as always, wear what you want, when you want, no matter who you are).
