Yet again! I don't think this is a bad perfume at all, however just gazing at the sample vial beforehand I found the colour of the juice inside, alarming, If it was sweets or pop, I wouldn't let my kid have it as it resembles the crystal meth or PCP of E numbers and sugar. This one, like the achingly sweet Triumph of Baccus is syrupy and clumsy in construction not lacking depth, or familiar perfume nods or even creative compositional interest, but feels, claustrophobic for me. The opening is bonkers, a mixture of toxic fruitiness and heavy, heavy ambered florals, to say this resembles flowerbomb is bizarre! Then it starts to get this vague resemblance to Noel au Balcon by ELDO, this is reasonably shortlived because the closeout is a similar strawberry shortcake/dolls head (see Triuph of Baccus again) and vanilla musks which is nothing like the honey and stewed fruits of Noel. Maybe this mellow floral/musky smooth drydown is perhaps what's giving the Flowerbomb energy? I dunno? So what I'm saying is this this has progression and depth, these are clearly uncotiously (over)concentrated EDP or Parfum concentrations made to be as thick and present and luxurious as possible but in trying to turn up to 11 they end up being about a 6.5. Now I have a feeling that many of these are cookie cutter, off the shelf formulas from somewhere, mildly modded and then unleashed through this Lux Niche angle, which I thought I'd find gawdy and corny n such but I actually like the art chosen, the look of the product is good and the marketing spiel not too cringey. This is not really my thing but it's alright.
