I really liked this fragrance on my girlfriend and in actual fact although feminine, Blossom Love's swee,t gourmand tones are something I would very much enjoy wearing myself. It starts out with a hugely sweet opening but there's enough inherent quality and restraint in the fragrance so nothing comes off as cheap. Cherry blossom is obvious immediately and then there's a development of that disaronno theme but to me it's not that boozy but more like amaretti buscuits so yeah essentially the same thing. The base is a definite tonka bean but maintaining a lovely floral nature too. This might be a common, some might say cliched theme aimed towards women... soft, floral, foodie scents but when done nicely, I can't help but appreciate them. It sits low and settles down to much less sweet scent which is just plain nice.
Imagine someone wearing a loud, arab amber/fake oud fragrance changing their baby's dirty nappy, and they've just started to talc the little bottom, while the soiled nappy is still within smelling distance and you walk in at that exact moment..... Voilà, Blossom Love. But I'm not mad at it.... It does calm down after the quite hair-raising opening. Update: actually I have to retract my previous statement. This is, and remains, a MASSIVE, bombastic, more is more, EXTRA, histrionic diva, but not a diva with the chops of talent, more a desperate housewives type of hot mess with plastic, enlarged lips and eyelids that sag with years of encrusted mascara and coagulated benzodiazepines. The only person I can imagine smelling like this in all seriousness would be an alcoholic, low-quality Liza Minelli drag tribute act.
