JunoB

A mesmerising fragrance, fresh and sweet with a pillowy softness that envelops the person in a long lasting cloud. The marshmallow brings this sparkling fluffiness but the mandarin orange is what brings this perfume to great heights, bringing a wonderful tart-sweet flavour to the otherwise powdery marshmallow. The bergamot makes the opening fresh and aromatic but fades quickly to mingle with the mandarin orange, the marshmallow and jasmine is undercutting the whole fragrance and remain while the citrus gets more muted the longer it is on the skin. Velvet shadow lasts all day on me and doesn't change much in the drydown beside the citrus sinking down into a sweet marshmallow jasmine pillow, which is why I like to respray at around the 5 hour mark but other than to get the stronger citrus back it's more than acceptable much longer than that. All in all a greatly comforting everyday fragrance with great sillage that is neither overpowering nor subtle and stays for hours.
