I don't know where fragantica gets their notes here, but they are all wrong. The notes of this perfume are on the packaging, they are; jasmine, grapefruit(pamplemousse) and patchouli. And that's what you smell as well. I clearly smell grapefruit, jasmine and patchouli. There is no iris or sandalwood in it, i can't find any, anywhere in the fragance. So please dont buy this blind, if you are into sandalwood or iris notes! I also totally disagree with Osmologist's comment. It doesn't smell cheap at all. It's light and sparkly because of the grapefruit/citrus note, very feminine because of the jasmine but i love how subtle they are blended together, and the combo with the patchouli underneath gives it a bit of an edge and makes it sexy. I don't smell any rose. Yes it is a little like l'interdit. But l' interdit doesn't smell artificial imo at all and neither does this. I think it's a bright classy scent, perfect for spring. I am somebody who is NOT into floral very feminine fragances, but can wear this without getting a headache and loves and appreciates how well blended this is. What bothers me about Osmologists comnent as well is; just because it is also for sale at TK maxx at times, that doesn't make a fragance or a product bad at all! I find that a very rigid and close minded way of thinking. I found incredible things there, from time to time, so those alarmbells are perhaps might be just the voices in their head. That being said; I didn't buy this one at TK maxx but on a website. And perhaps I paid more, this fragance is worth every penny to me. Lastly there are also perfume houses with a huge heritage who keep making awful (very over priced) perfumes, so heritage is also something that doesnt necessarily mean anything much to be fair and can be very over-rated. Heritage or not, I absolutely love the soft well blended light subtle but interesting fragances Abaco Paris has to offer, and am a huge HUGE fan.

I’m buying all of these so you don’t have to: it smells like American grape soda. You’re welcome. Edit - Yeah it does smell like L'Interdit

Cheap synthetic generic floral with not a hint of sandalwood. This was a sneeze attack from the start. Once the sneezing is done, it fades fast to leave the faintest trace of something slightly fruity and rose like, not violet or iris as you would expect. Be careful of these perfume houses that pop up out of knowhere and have no heritage. The first time you'll see them is in a discounter like tkmaxx. That should ring alarm bells from the start. This is a room spray at best and that room is the toilet.
