Young and sweet—think sugar and peony—but with a soft patchouli base that adds an oomph of sillage.

Smells like condensed milk that’s been sitting in the heat too long, with an added plastic note.

After a juniper and lemon opening, Gypsy Water has the same unpleasant latex/rubber hot water bottle note as some of the Bond No. 9’s. Ugh.

Dry, earthy, sexy. Touch of cinnamon, but not at all sweet. I like layering it with the new Glossier You Rêve to add a hint of sweetness

While the opening is too floral-forward for me, the light floral/sweet tea note that later emerges is perfect.
