She Wood Golden Light Wood

Having just received Golden Light Wood as a birthday gift from a lovely Fragrantica friend (you know who you are!), I have to sing it's praises! I'm shocked not to see jasmine and violet among the notes... and amused to see that many other reviewers are looking for lost flower notes here, too (mimosa, freesia, honeysuckle, among others- this scent must be a real chameleon!) Usually, orange blossom drowns out everything else on my skin, but that isn't happening (yet) There is a gorgeous juxtaposition between the softness of heliotrope and white blossoms and the sharpness of cedar and citrus that I find utterly enchanting- If you are attracted to Alien but are wary of its intensity, especially for everyday use, I highly recommend this-

I spray on my wrist, close my eyes and smell.... I feel the sun on my skin and a little breeze is cooling me, i hear the waves as i'm lying at the beach drinking malibu/pineapple... And that's everything i need! That is what Golden Light Wood is all about for me! And that's why i love it!

This just makes me so incredibly happy. Lush, exuberant, it's like standing in a deep leafy forest, sunlight filtering through.... Amazing staying power on me, I can still pick up the heart notes after more than eight hours. Also lingers a good 13h+ on clothes. A plus!

Sometimes it smells like Alien Sunessence. Sometimes it smells like MaDame, but without that soapy scent. Sometimes it makes me "remember" Summer by Kenzo. The combination of white flowers, wood and musk is amazing! Uplifting, classy and sunny scent!

I am very happy with this perfume,it is bright,clean at the beginning and the dry down is very very similar with Alien on my skin.This is the main reason I bought it although they have different notes both have that luxurious divine smell.
