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.

我非常恼火的是，描述中提到了 Stephanotis，但在香水金字塔中却没有显示。我拥有一株 Stephanotis 植物，可以百分之百肯定地说，Stephanotis 是这里的主要成分（而不是我曾经认为的百合，尽管她总是存在）。我想不出还有哪种花香型香水没有真正的前调或基调可言。在纸上，这可能看起来是一个令人不知所措的选择，因为它有一群主导花卉，有时确实如此。但如果你能找到合适的使用时机，它对任何像我一样想要沉浸在花香中的人来说，都是美丽而令人陶醉的。我认为正是 Stephanotis 让这款香水独特，避免了与其他白花香水相似（没有贬义——我喜欢白花香水）。我发现自己在囤积这款香水，因为我购买的每一瓶备用香水都缺乏新鲜感，破坏了它的美感。也许是时候把这瓶香水拿出来了。附注：EL Pleasures 是一个绝对可靠的替代品。相同的氛围，尽管缺少了心爱的 Stephanotis。

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.
