Adventurous

Funny enough, I don't get ANY green, caramel or sweet notes from this. But boy do I love this one. I find the name "Adventurous" fitting. No, it's not exotic as in "wow, this smells like coconut and sunscreen" but rather "wow, this smells like an african safari AND a weekend in NYC at the same time". It has this universal "urban jungle" feel to it. It's light and fresh but turns warm on my skin, as if I'd been in the sun all day. I'd say it's a woody floral that would suit a woman at any age. Transforms well from day to evening :)

Sweet little summer fragrance, which unfortunately isn't long lasting. At first Adventurous is a bit too green and sharp, and therefore it burns the nose. Then it turns into a fruit-juice-spilled-on-flowers kind of smell. Nothing new, and nothing adventurous for that matter, however it is likable. I also like the bottle, sleek simple design with coral and golden and that's all that is interesting about Adventurous.

I tested it today and liked it. To me it started off with a strong toffee note. I guess this was the caramel element. It reminded me a bit of Kimora Lee Simmons Golden Goddess. It doesn't have the sweetness you imagine with caramel and all the sweet scents. It's more a grown up scent. Unfortunately the staying power on my skin wasn't that great.

Pretty bottle, but misleading. Based on the advertising, this should be a warm, tropical perfume. However, upon spraying, you are whacked in the nostrils with sharp greenness. It really stings. This initial blast does wear off, and then inexplicably I am smelling toffee mixed with white florals. At some point, fruit comes into play. Talk about whiplash. I did enjoy parts of the dry down, but it wasn't anything earth shattering. Not worth sitting through the olfactory equivalent of a roller coaster.

I found this one very strange,not gourmand and all,more floral-green...
