I’ve never owned a perfume from this brand or bought a $30 perfume in my adult life so my lack of experience with this may affect my take— I decided to buy it to support the creator and because the notes sound like my dreams come true. I love a clean, musky scent but this isn’t that.
I already have a pretty large dent on my bottle because this perfume has probably the worst performance I’ve ever experienced, like worse than a body spray. On top of performance issues, it just smells like watered down bergamot, more like lime really, falls very flat and really has no character. Not sure if I’m having some sort of anosmic problem with it, but there’s no sign of much going on in here which is super disappointing because pear, orris, and musk just sound so divine!
