To anyone who came here by Paulina's recommendation: this is NOT 'the new Love don't be shy'. At all.
It's nice, but very faint, barely noticeable, and with no character.
I can see why that comparison was made because there is like 3% of LDBS sweet orange blossom there. But then, there are so many orange blossom perfumes out there, it could be anything.
No tea note either.
Not similar to HSW, though it could be seen in the same style, but HSW is a hundred ;) times better.
Also, none of the Wedding Silk Santal sparkle there either.
It's a nice, sweet yet very subtle perfume, but that's it.

Actually, I don't smell the croissant, definitely not the marshmallow, not the cinnamon... I mainly get the bergamot, sandalwood, jasmine and musk. It is not creamy to me at all, rather woody, and a tad bit spicy in the opening. Much less fluffy and feminine than I expected, sadly. Not bad but I had imagined a fluffy cloud made of freshly baked croissant and almond cappuccino.

The very first opening is nice, but it disappears after literally a minute. Then, it's a VERY powdery rose, almost as if there was a musc or talcum note in it, which completely overpowers the sweet notes - I can't smell them at all. While I didnt expect it to smell like macaroons - which don't have a smell :-) - I was hoping for a delicate gourmand rose fragrance. Sadly, it's a pass for me.

It is a beautiful scent but so underwhelming. I've been loving this colour this year so had extremely high hopes for the scent as I imagined it... Finally I tested it today, and it's nice, but just underwhelming. It's elegant and feminine yes, sweet fresh violet, it 'kinda' smells like what I imagined, it's classy and delicate, but does not project and even for a discreet fragrance, it's not memorable. For me, redundant. Better fragrances out there for the same effect...
The bottle though, banger ;)
