Frangipani & Neroli

Frangipani & Neroli is summer in a bottle; it’s bright and uplifting, like the rays of the sun hitting your face in the morning, yet remains grounded and multi-faceted. A delicate dance between the sky and the earth. On one hand, you have the beautiful elements of the bitter orange tree - neroli, petitgrain and mandarin together create a clean and soapy vibrance, tempered by a dense green undergrowth. To counter this, the thick, powdery facets of violet and orris are complemented by the sweet fruity influence of frangipani. It’s a very nice fragrance, but I feel the frangipani takes away from its beauty, forming a direction which feels slightly immature and out of place. Despite that however, it’s a satisfying wear.

Save your money. This is Aquanet Hairspray in a perfume. After reading how these scents were inspired by travel to Vietnam, I was very excited to experience the scent profile. How could a perfume be so annoying? It is old fashioned, 1970's beauty parlor hairspray. Very disappointing and quite frankly it made me sad.

This reeks. Smells like a dirty public loo that has just been sprayed with cheap air freshener. Its harsh, screechy and simply stinks. Awful

First impressions: Reminded me of fruity, floral shampoos. A little too sweet for my preference (I think maybe frangipani just isn't for me). Still, a fine composition
