Cumbia Colors Woman

Hummm- Not even close to my beloved Colors. I was expecting something very exotic as CUMBIA is an Afro-Columbian Caribbean dance and the word Cumbia always reminds me of Hot Colombianos with names like Alejo and Rafa- men with epic smiles and sugary words than leave young girls dizzy as they ask said girls to dance Cumbia! Sadly- this was not what Happened- instead I was surprised by an instant hit of black pepper, grapefruit groves, bubble bath suds, Irish soap and of all things...celery (?) then the very quick dry down- this is the nicest part: citrus blossoms, faintly a whisper of Vanilla- a bitter vanilla- cotton and though there is no musk- I do get an little lemon drop. This is a bright and very clean, almost too proper, daytime, workout, office and leisure fragrance. The pepper makes is moderately sexy, very girl next door. I feel nice and freshly showered clean when I wear it. The price is so accessible- this cost of a cocktail:) The heart of this fragrance very green- it remains herbal throughout its silage which starts out with a Kabam and ends with little Bloop. Maybe the secret heat of this is cedar? Not as fabulous as Pink Paradiso- but very similar in its crispness.

i like cumbia a lot, it makes me feel younger and lighter. i used to wear it during my stay in Valencia, that's why every smell of this reminds me of beautiful summer days of the spanish city. but i must admit, i would have loved it more if we could subtract some of the spicy notes. but overall it's a nice floral fruity fragrance without being girly (that's because of the spicy notes). Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10

Other than pepper- I don't find this spicy at all- it's predominately herbal on me-

It smelled a bit citrusy in the initial spray, but then I get that oh so familiar smell of overripe peaches that I tend to smell in many older perfume that I buy (those that have been out of production for several years). I don't know if this smell means that the perfume itself has turned, the oils gone bad or if this is just a scent profile I dislike. Since no one else has mentioned it, I'll assume my bottle has turned a bit. Still not a horrible scent, but I'd love to smell the real notes on this instead of a bad bottle. What a bummer. It smells similar to me as another older bottle i purchased of Love's Eau so Spectacular, which has that same "peaches going bad in the sun" scent.

Sweet-sour cherry syrup. A hint of hibiscus. Suitable for younger women and girls, for casual and sport occasions. Average staying power.
