If I was being totally honest I'd say that I perhaps would NEVER have mentioned a cauliflower in my review unless prompted by the sample card to do so. Perhaps my mind is conjuring/grasping here, I freely admit it, but if this is cauliflower, then it's 'creamed cauliflower' not quite cauliflower cheese, my missus makes a kind of healthy (healthier) version anyway with milk and a kind of roux. Anyway... This is a strange fragrance anyway in the sense that the mandarin orange and perhaps bergamot opening doesn't quite give an instant flavour of what lies beneath but this is no doubt a creamy, vanillic, tonka bean fragrance. In all honesty, I don't like it. The saving grace is that it's creative and I believe this has a home with someone, while I've smelled most of these effects before, I've never really come across them together. I think what adds to the vegetal aspect in a fragrance which at it's heart, is quite a sweet (I know vegetables can be and often are sweet but I mean in a more sugary, dessert sense) thing. Coming back to the Cauliflower, I get a really faint trace of nutmeg or mace, and I think that's what's giving this creamed, veg, vibe. I was prepared to love a tonka centric fragrance from a great brand, albeit with a silly name... TONK A BLONK... haha, from a great perfumer, etc..... but I just don't like it. Sorry.
Have you tried this fragrance?

They thought of a concept (vegetable notes) then crowbarred a load of perfumes into it. You can smell them and be like, "oh yeah, that's interesting" but in actual fact they're mostly awful and certainly nothing I'd ever put on my skin. This is the worst of the six. This is a ghastly perfume, really bad.
