Pistachio Mish-Mash

This starts out so well- fluffy, creamy, pistachio with vanilla and milk. It's light, sweet and lovely. It made me think of old-fashioned ice cream parlors. I really enjoyed this phase of the fragrance. It lasted about 30-45 minutes.

Unfortunately, a very sharp, synthetic cherry note, along with some ill-defined fruity notes came barging into the ice cream parlor. Any rice note was overwhelmed by the fruit. The fruity notes last several hours, and it just seemed like an ill-considered blend, a mish-mash of things that may work together in another context but not here.

The drydown retains some of the fruity character, although it is tamed, but the mish-mash nature of the fragrance remains, the fruit, musk and cinnamon don't smell bad; they just don't really go together with the rest of the fragrance. IMO, this fragrance could have benefitted from some editing.
