I honestly don't understand the hype around this one. For layering it is indeed a fairly good smell, to sweeten and deepen up any other perfume, but alone? To me, it is a synthetic mess of burnt vanilla. Vanilla is indeed prominent, but has some rubbery bitterness to it that makes it extremely unpleasant. The initial impression is creamy but it quickly turns in your face artificial and stays this way until it wears out. Longevity is pretty good for a perfume oil, but this is rather a downside. I don't get any coconut or cashmere notes, only this syrup-y plain synthetic vanilla. It is by far not the best smell among Nest's oils.

I generally don't like fruity smells even though I own a bunch, because they can be a total overkill in sweetness. This one is absolutely my favourite fruity smell. Lasts on me eternally - put it on yesterday at 10 am and still could smell it on my skin at 11 pm. Wonderful sillage, makes me happy with every sniff. To me it smells like eating a generic fruit (leans peachy) in a garden during the blooming season. I only have a travel version of it and would like it in my permanent collection once I use it up.

Got this bottle on my last trip to Brazil. Smells absolutely heavenly; creamy with a lot of white flowers. This fragrance hugs you; the notes of carambola and vanilla are very pleasant and comforting. However, the biggest disappointment is the sillage and longevity: it is so intimate and lasts not longer than an hour on my skin. The scent is suitable for every season; imo very feminine leaning. L'Occitane au Bresil has a lot of great smells, but this one is my favorite.

Not a fan of rose scents, got this one as a gift and was pleasantly surprised: citrusy, juicy, slightly fruity and very elegant rose with a musky touch. It is not an exquisite or one of a kind smell; however, is pleasant for every day wear, especially in spring/summer. Would definitely fit the category of "clean" scents, but with a sexy touch. Imo, a unisex smell. Special mention of the 15 ml bottle: I have a weakness for the packaging, it is a pleasure to look at.
