Nectariiiine

To me, this straight up smells like a bowl of cocoa pebbles. Which I am allergic to, so this is my way to enjoy them again. There is a muskiness underneath the cocoa pebbles smell, but it works with the chocolate. I'm not a musk fan so I didn't go out of my way to get this one, but my coworker gave me a full bottle, and I love it.

I think the bright green color isn't accurate to the vibe of this fragrance, although it's pretty. I'd say a purple or blue would suit it better. It's definitely gummy, but not sour or juicy. More like some good old fashioned gummy worms with a nice, dark floral backdrop. I'm not really a floral person, but these ones are well blended with the gumminess. It works. I love this one. Longevity isn't great, but the drydown isn't unpleasant. Good night time scent imo. I really like this one. This is a good unisex, too. Usually unisex fragrances are way too masculine leaning for me (that shaving cream scent that seems to be in everything is always too much for me). This one is truly just a lovely scent that anyone could wear.

The notes on this are right up my alley, so I was really excited for this one. People tell me every time I wear marshmallow scents that they are made for me and I should never wear anything else. But man, this one instantly smelled like baby wipes on me. Just a really generic powdery scent. I can see how one might interpret it as marshmallowy and if I smell it while picturing a marshmallow, I can almost like it, but it's just the powderiness of a marshmallow and none of the sweet vanilla. I also don't get any ginger.

I'm not a fan of super powdery scents, so I don't think I'll be purchasing a larger sample. Maybe it'll grow on me or I'll find a good way to layer it. But if you're expecting marshmallow as in Kyse Delizia Di Marshmallow, they're nothing alike.

It has a bit of a cologne vibe to me. I was hoping for more juicy, fresh, realistic passion fruit. And don't get me wrong, it's there, I just don't personally love how it competes with the musky woody notes, which give it this sharp, masculine-leaning edge for me. However, when I layer it with Eos Raspberry Pomegranate body lotion, it smells almost exactly like a fresh nectarine. Which I'm a huge fan of (obviously), so I'm still glad I got the sample. I won't be repurchasing, however. If you are a huge fan of woods/musk and tangy tropical fruit, you'll probably love this one.

So, I actually really appreciate this fragrance, but it is SO boozy. To me, the smell reminds me of being in college and going to parties that were absolutely drenched in booze, that sour beer kind of smell. That being said, it's a vibe that I like. The zingy fruitiness works well with that smell. I think this would be a great scent for a party or a date. I definitely wouldn't wear this to work, though. And the longevity and projection are poor. I don't think I'd have use for a full bottle, but I'm glad I bought a sample.

On second thought, the drydown is very ambergris heavy and powdery, which I really don't like.
