Voyance

Aldehydic overload in the beginning. Clean, soapy, and lemony. I was starting to wonder why this was listed as having an aquatic accord, because I was getting that at all. The water lily does come into play much later and finally gives it an aquatic vibe and I like it better at that point. Not really for me though.

A sort of floral aquatic scent. Unfortunately aquatic scents make me nauseous for some reason so this one is a pass for me.

For soap lovers, I think this is a great cheap well blended fragrance. I am not a soap lover. 4/10

This almost never happens: I wore this last night, and now I've put it on again today...letting almost the entire contents of my sample vial drip all the way down my arm! I just can't stop sniffing it! I have no idea what some of the floral notes in this perfume smell like on their own, so I cannot comment about them all. But I definitely think there are aldehydes. This is a perfume in the vein of Chanel no. 5, Lady Stetson, and the like, but it still manages to smell modern. The aldehydes are very prevalent at the top, along with verbena, and linger through most of the duration of the scent's life; it becomes a bit sweeter and more watery (must be the water lily making its presence known) and musky toward the end. It's a keeper. A full bottle will be mine.
