This smells like a flower garden during a humid summer night after all the flowers stopped blooming. It has earthy bitter and slightly dill leaning notes that will not work for everyone but I find it extremely interesting on my skin. It's not too strong on projection but I can still smell it on my skin EOD which is nice.

I wanted to love this perfume. Tried it on skin couple of times at Sephora hoping that each time it would evolve differently but alas. Starts with a very sweet cream note, something like if you shoved your nose into fresh frosting and very quickly turns extremely bitter (or strong black pepper?) and stays that way for HOURS :/

I stumbled upon this perfume while looking for something that smelled like the Pattern hair gel and this was a good match. At the beginning... The opening on Wild Bluebell is beautiful. It's a very youthful, fresh floral, not at all stuffy or synthetic. As it develops though it becomes more and more aquatic-soapy the way I found a lot of Jo Malone fragrances go. As it ages on my skin it doesn't turn particularly bad, but it's definitely nothing to write home about.

Warm and light, can't pick out what exactly it smells like but it is very enticing. Great scent on my skin for the price, but the sillage and longevity is honestly quite bad. I can barely smell it on my wrists after 4 hours. I have noticed that on clothes I will notice it when I put on something with leftover scent on it but it dissipates almost immediately so it might be a nose blindness issue.

This fragrance was what sold me on the Replica concept originally. Wearing it gives an impression of being someone who has spend their day by a firepit (wouldn't say fireplace) burning wood and the smoke has saturated into your skin hair and clothes. Speaking of which this scent stuck to my clothes more than any other I've tried and some of my knits still smell like it years later. It's very Autumn smells, more sweet than Autumn Vibes, but just as visceral for the good and the bad.
