This is extremely pretty, but it's all honeysuckle and gardenia by way of syringa with zero magnolia. A bit ubiquitous, but good value.

This is an absolutely disgusting ozone bomb. Extremely harsh and artificial. I tried it in an attempt to find a dupe for Liz Claiborne Liz, but it did not meet expectation. Liz is more aquatic than ozonic, and certainly not to this level of stank.

This opens up with a bright, dish soapy orange. Not horrific, but not optimal. If you give it a little time (and not much time, really), the drydown is a lovely warm spicy floral that I would have sworn was tagetes and not carnation. I also get a lingering essence of orange in the form of maybe petitgrain or something. I think temperature affects this one very much. The opening comes off more juicy than soapy on warmer skin. This does not have great projection, but would work nicely as a personal scent. I can see using this as a bed scent, if only for the drydown.

스테파노티스가 설명에 언급되었지만 향수 피라미드에는 나타나지 않아 매우 짜증이 납니다. 저는 스테파노티스 식물을 가지고 있으며, 스테파노티스가 여기서 주된 역할을 한다는 것을 100% 확신할 수 있습니다(그녀가 항상 존재하더라도 제가 한때 생각했던 것처럼 백합이 아닙니다). 실제로 언급할 만한 진정한 탑 노트나 베이스 노트가 없는 다른 플로럴 향수를 생각할 수 없습니다. 종이에 적었을 때, 이 향수는 강력한 꽃들로 구성되어 있어 압도적인 선택처럼 보일 수 있으며, 실제로 그럴 때도 있습니다. 하지만 만약 애플리케이션의 적절한 지점을 찾을 수 있다면, 이는 정말 아름답고 매혹적이며, 저처럼 꽃을 먹고, 숨쉬고, 목욕하고 싶어하는 사람에게는 더욱 그렇습니다. 스테파노티스가 이 향수를 정말 특별하게 만드는 요소라고 생각하며, 다른 모든 화이트 플로럴 향수와 같지 않게 해줍니다(비난은 아니지만, 저는 화이트 플로럴 향수를 좋아합니다). 저는 이 향수를 모으고 있는데, 제가 구입한 다른 모든 백업 병들은 신선함이 부족해 그 아름다움을 망치기 때문입니다. 아마도 이제 이 향수를 숨겨둔 곳에서 꺼낼 때가 된 것 같습니다. 참고: EL Pleasures는 정말 믿을 수 있는 대체품입니다. 같은 느낌이지만, 사랑받는 스테파노티스는 빠져 있습니다.

If you are familiar with the BBW CocoShea Honey line, this is basically the EDP version of that.

Citrus/rhubarb/tea are most notable off the top. Lemon reads more grapefruit to me (I'm good with this). Rhubarb is CRISP and tart, but not sharp. Tea is fresh/green and NOT ozonic. The rose is so faint to me. More of a backdrop to the three notes above. Very sheer. Slightly more sweet than floral (L'Occitane type rose). Opening notes fade quickly and tea is the major remnant. Absolutely gorgeous, but it's got EDC longevity and an EDP price tag. I'd want to spray this as hard as I would a 4711 offering. If I could get the opening to last more than mere minutes, I would seriously contemplate throwing down cashmonies for this, but the things that make it so special are so sadly fleeting that I can't justify the purchase.

Bright green spring floral with tart rhubarb (love this addition!) However, as with nearly every other Byredo offering I've tried, it has a soapy drydown that I can't stand. Aldehydes must be part of the Byredo DNA. What could have been the perfect tulip scent was ruined by it. The fast fade doesn't help, either.

I had such high hopes for this. I love violet, but I tend toward the leaf rather than flower. Was kind of excited by the reviews mentioning that it smelled like violet candies (LOVE Choward Violets) but this is not that. What it IS (on me, anyway) is an absolute doomcloud of powder. It's not dusty, but it's THICC to the point of being oppressive. I'm typically a heavy sprayer, but only 2 spritzes and I'm gasping for breath. What's left behind that is an extremely artificial scented toy (raw umber says My Little Ponies, and that seems apt). I completely get why some people are smitten by this, but chemistry or otherwise is rendering this putrid on me.

Harsh root beer blast up front that quickly softens. Not particularly fizzy, just soft and sweet after the initial olfactory assault. Definitely NOT citrus aromatic at all. It's gourmand, if anything. Notes here are WAY off. Fragluxe site says: "This fragrance has a blend of wood, vanilla, and fresh, spicy amber."

This is Vera Wang Sheer Veil-lite meets water hyacinth (see: Aguape/Malachite Special Edition). The packaging and juice color also look kind of similar to VWSV. Totally getting the pencil shavings, which frankly is kind of cool. I don't hate it, but I already have enough VWSV to last me through the afterlife.
