I wrote a positive mini review of this on the forum already but I think I spoke too soon? The opening is fantastically fresh truly a wonderful mixture of two things which shouldn't work but just do...a very juicy, refreshing and watery Cucumber note with a creamy richer almond. The two are often used in those exfoliating products that tend to be used by or aimed primarily at women. That's not say I think this is feminine because it's a fresh scent which is quite inert and just can't help but just evoke an air of cleaniness. The almond is not sweet and the balance with the cucumber is just right however after the opening it's a different story. Mimosa will never be a favourite perfume ingredient for me and as this dries down the mimosa becomes extremely intrusive and in this context giving an awful moisturizing cream vibe, which I do not care for in the slightest! It works, it's a complementary ingredient to the almond and cucumber but similarly with heliotrope I find it quite floral and not in a sweet way but a good partnership for the almond nevertheless. Some will love this one and I can see why it's a good perfume and surprisingly lasts a long time but not for me I'm afraid after the first ten minutes it turns into a sour white/yellow floral, hand cream mess. Shame, I will give the 10ml bottle I got to my missus she'll wear it!
