LONDON. She knew he was for-ever

In the interest of full disclosure I must let you know that I won this gorgeous perfume in a Fragrantica giveaway, but I was not asked to review this in exchange--I was just told to enjoy. Oh, and enjoying it I am. If you like fresh, floral tea scents you will love this. If you're a bibliophile in any way (as well as a perfumista) YOU WILL LOVE THIS. I don't know which stands out more---the amazingly gorgeous packaging, or the very pretty juice inside. The scent itself is simple, yet well done. The green tea note is neither too bitter nor too sweet---it is just right. The magnolia and honeysuckle are both soft and hover in the background, letting the tea have the front row. There is a faint, fresh outdoorsy honey scent that smells like fresh air in the summer. The fragrance gently settles into the woodsy drydown and I find myself sniffing my wrists as often as I can. The packaging is a work of art, so much so that I've endeavored to procure the other 2 Fictions BLINDLY because I MUST have the whole collection. I haven't even checked the notes---if they are as stellar as this one, they will be worth it.

Thank you Fragrantica for the wonderful giveaway! It is a soft scent. It reminds me of warm hugs and slowly falling in love with your sweetheart. The initial blast is a slightly sharp, but delicious blend of tea, magnolia and then honeysuckle to balance it out. Around 40 minutes later I smell the same magnolia/honeysuckle/tea combo added with a sweet green quality. Smells like sweetened and cold green tea with a little hibiscus. I love this part. Very fresh. Overall this smells floral, slightly sweet, and green loose-leaf tea. A very clean and comforting perfume.
