Cecilesmith

There were a lot of talk about this brand last year because of the Royal Wedding. I finally got hold of a sample recently. I must say that i was totally disappointed. Rather sorry for Kate...

The notes are so over-powering, in a way old fashion, it's simply not refined in my opinion. It's got some sort of chemical notes also. It's so strong that it is offensive to wear... my husband could not stand me wearing it, asked me to wash it off!

Tested it in Frankfurt Airport. Really like it. It is dark, it is mysterious. Love the hint of incense and spiciness. I don't think the oud is as good as Montale's oud note, but it does not matter, cos the overall scent experience is great. Love it. And likely will buy it!

A very fresh clean perfume which gives me a lot of complements from my partner and friends. It gives a sense of purity, lightness and youthfulness. It really feels like fish swimming in a cool blue water. Notes are green and clean and not dominating, not too loud. It lasts well over 7 hours on my skin.

Will consider buying it after testing this sample!
