Spring Festival

Those dry, powdered hawthorne candy discs + a lacquered wooden heirloom box (as noted by another reviewer) that used to contain medicinal herbs. Or... a grandma who's left an incensed room to enjoy the evening air at a fruit stall at sundown on a warm night. That may not sound especially tempting to you, but Spring Festival is my #1 and there's nothing I can do about it. The scent undergoes at least 4 distinct phases throughout a day of wear and all of them are heavenly. It is inexhaustibly intriguing while still being definitely pleasant, which is what I want in a signature. Personally I feel this scent wears like a heavy veil in a way best suited to autumn, though I intend to wear it year-round.

somebody said it reminds them of dr pepper which i heavily agree on, but it's still somehow appealing to me. The opening has this fruity + citrusy orange vibe that's developed in a candy-like way. The fruits and citruses are blended into a really balanced and sweet way that reminds me of a candy. Which is why i find this similar to dr pepper. When i drank dr pepper for the first time on london, i immediately got disgusted bc how sweet and candy-ish it is, it was like drinking a fizzy syrup. This also has a fizzy vibe too! And to be honest, this was exactly what i had expected for red lime soda by strangers parfumerie. For me, this is awesome and appealing. 9.2/10

This perfume is a pleasant surprise! By looking at notes, I had no idea how this would smell like before getting it and I don't think I ever smelled jujube in perfume before. It opens up with peppery, nutty jujube with addition of fruity hint. It more resambles of dried jujube that is made into tea. Plum blossom and mandarin makes this perfume more fresh. I sense something roasted there too. It dries down to more powdery scent (I assume that would be lantern note). I am going through my sample now, but I think I will add bigger size to my collection once I am done. It is unique and different. Spicy aspect makes it more unisex. Well done!

Absolutely gorgeous artwork, it’s much warmer then described on my skin at least, if you from Sweden or have tried zoo candy from Sweden its very much alike in a beautiful way! Spicy candy warm citrusy touch and floral. It went straight up to top 3 in my around 60 fragrance collection. This and sakura snow from the same house is absolutely gorgeous. This is a must buy if you like to get your nose on something on its own.

Soooo interesting! Opens with vibrant spices, like cinnamon or cardamom or cloves, some woods but not smoky (reminds me of a lacquered/varnished wooden box). Then the mandarin comes through and mixes with all the spices. Super interesting and uplifting, like you’re in a very lively market with lots of people, movement and sounds. I would consider this an aromatic more than a floral/fresh/citrus fragrance.
