Hearts And Flowers

I was genuinely curious to try this Spanish brand because of all the attention it has been getting lately, but unfortunately I ended up quite disappointed. After testing several fragrances from the house, my overall impression is that many of them feel heavily inspired by already existing niche perfumes, without bringing enough originality or refinement of their own. The similarities are noticeable, but the execution feels flatter and less sophisticated. What bothered me the most was the base. On my skin, it develops a synthetic and somewhat “cheap” undertone that becomes quite irritating after a while. Instead of evolving beautifully, the drydown turns heavy, linear, and tiring. The openings can be attractive for a few minutes, but the fragrances quickly lose elegance once they settle. Personally, I don’t get the quality, texture, or smooth blending I expect from niche perfumery. Of course, fragrance is subjective and skin chemistry matters, but for me this brand feels more like an imitation of popular niche DNA rather than a house with a truly distinctive artistic identity.
