Nadine

This is the epitome of "spring green" to me. I feel this Nadine has a lot of personality, a greeny springy floral which is not my usual thing. But... it is unique. Something that intrigues my nose and beckons me. I like it. Just not sure exactly how often I'll wear it. Something about this makes me think of White Linen, or Pleasures maybe? Never tried Cabotine, so maybe..? I did check Cabotine notes though, and they seem more in line with Nadine than the ones listed. Especially the ginger. Something is causing the zing. I'd have to describe this as a zesty, bright green, airy, fairy floral. Very flowery, but not really very sweet. Fresh and crisp with some lemon maybe? Just as soon as I think it might be heady, it turns into one of those sour-lemon flowers whose stems you can chew on in the early spring, then back again into a white flower like jasmine with something spicy-ish. I think this is a refreshing type of floral, and will suit a specific craving. To me, a little quirky, sprightly, spring green scent, and I'm glad to have it in my collection.

This is for the 6 ml oil roll-on. The first few times I tried this I absolutely hated it. I got very indolic, harsh florals that reminded me of cheap bathroom air freshener. Then, on the advice of another Fragrantican, I let it settle for a week and tried again. I dabbed the tiniest bit in a few places, and it smelled really nice. Now I can smell the flowers and the rose without the sour note. It is soft and polite and kind of a bright scent. Very nice for summer! This turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, but for me the key is using just the barest amount, otherwise it's a completely different scent. This is true of all the floral al rehabs so far. Some of them work on me, but some just don't, even though they smell good in the bottle (such as Elena and Lovely). I'm not a big fan of rose scents, but to me this is a floral mix rather than predominantly rose, it settles right into my skin and stays gently floral, without becoming powdery.

Simply gorgeous! Magically intoxicating. Very similar to shadha. Go outside wearing nadine or shadha and the sweet magic envelops you... A trail of beautiful sweet green slightly spicy floral bouquet. I love this! I truly love this! But i love love love love shadha as number 1. I bought cabotine, hoping it will be as magical as nadine and shadha... Gosh i hope it is, so i can douse myself in it.

I hated this with a passion at first, but after a week or so of settling time and some perseverance, I love this little oddity. I also have horrendously dry, fragrance repelling skin but this lasts around 18 hours on my wrists. Even after a shower or washing dishes. Amazing.

Smelled like a shitty soap on me but was great on my mom. *SO* nineties. salty, powdery white florals and rose, but make it very business. very femme, major white skirt suits energy. absolutely beautiful. even though it didn't work in me, I can't help but love it.
