Like the previous reviewer mentioned, this opens with a bright but short-lived burst of lemon verbena-flavored Pez. The dry down softens into a mix of milky florals. The neroli here isn’t an overly sweet, designer neroli - it’s more photorealistic, with a slight bitterness. I don’t detect even a WHISPER of ginger or incense, which is disappointing, because a touch of smoke or spice might have elevated this from a like to a love for me. It’s very pretty, but lacks depth or edge. Without the incense, this doesn’t read as explicitly churchy, but there is something angelic about it. It evokes a pastoral spring scene: white Edwardian dresses, baby lambs, maypoles, all overlaid with a diaphanous veil of nostalgia. Performance isn’t great, but at this price point, I don’t mind. And call me crazy, but I go googoo gaga for this weird plain bottle. This is something I’d reach for when I want something subtle and inoffensive for a spring day. Smells like: a baby bathed in neroli milk Looks like: a blossoming citrus orchard Sounds like: Anne Shirley reading "The Lady of Shalott"

Beautiful Smooth Low Sweet Milky Neroli/Jasmine. Light citric opening of Bergamot, Verbena and a touch of spiced Ginger, then goes slightly milky as natural sweetened non-indolic Jasmine/Neroli come forward. Very light but lovely drydown of musk, non-acrid incense and non-bitter oakmoss. Nice for spring/summer wear, especially in evenings. Becomes more beautiful as it wears on and the dewy fresh green neroli hovers over a gentle, restrained jasmine softened by the milk accord and becomes a clean, refreshing, very soothing mossy skin scent. Comforting and relaxing. No harsh edges. I could relax all day or night in this one. Soft as eider down, white as snow. No soapy detergent like facets here.

oh this perfume! very classic scent with slightly soapy citrus and powder, but soft and so so smooth. feels like fresh shaved legs on white silk sheets. dries down really mellow and floral. just so pretty and feminine and silky. sadly not as long lasting as i would like it to be. after about 2 hours, i can only smell it if i bring my wrist to my nose. i also dont smell the ginger notes at all. but im ok with that! it doesnt need spicy undertones to work. i think it serves well as a daily wear. nice light fragrance at a reasonable price.

I absolutely fell in love with this one! I am on a tester n°2-making sure I still like it..well..It's a very calming, meditative but very uplifting joyful scent. To me it is a perfect slow morning scent. It is so easygoing to me, that I'm definitely going to get the full bottle on Monday! The silage and longevity is ok with this one, as I am looking for something that is not loud and I can change the scent easily later. Just a perfect peaceful scent. I think I found my spring/summer signature:)

beautiful and well crafted. First you get a bright happy citrus note with a hint of sweetness, almost a candied lemon peel. It then opens up into a beautiful floral creamy dream, with some citrus hanging around. Its a happy fragrance that makes you stop and smile. Very short longevity, but that cant be helped with these notes. Its a great purse perfume, due to the affordability and the need to reapply every few hours. Excellent bright fresh spring scent
