Cricket Song

For me, Cricket Song is the beautiful scent of laundry drying in the breeze, cotton linens being gently warmed on a sunny Spring day. Soft, powdery, with a bit of citrus and the tiniest hint of woodiness poking through. This isn't headache-inducing in the slightest, which is wonderful for me as these kinds of perfumes often are! It's extremely effortless and chic, yet extremely cosy also. I'm just not sure how often I'd wear it (as I'm much more into fruity/citrus-forward scents) so a FB purchase is yet to be decided... if I see it at a good enough price I'd bull the trigger without hesitation, I'm just not sure it's worth it at full RRP when it's probably something you could get from Clean Reserve... **EDIT: well it's been 2 years and I've explored soooooo many magnolia (and proclaimed 'soapy') scents since this review and none of them cut it. This is the one. A bottle is indeed in order! I'm still babying the last few dregs of my original sample lol

I'm testing most of this house, and having pre scanned the rating and reviews to get a general vibe, I was honestly not expecting much. How nice it was to be completely wrong! Ok, so the opening is nothing to write home about (although there is nothing bad there), but when it dries down a bit, on me it is just gorgeous! Not sexy, not a heavy weight, but comfortable, and t leaves the most beautiful scent trail! It is so good, in fact, that my young adult daughter chased after me to ask what it was. She and I do share perfume, and this one became our first Floraiku FB buy. We both absolutely love it!

This is not unpleasant at all. It's very floral, and a bit fresh, and to me smells like a very expensive soap or shampoo. I might investigate getting a travel spray of this, but I think there are much less expensive, yet high quality, floral perfumes out there if you're looking for a big bottle. Longevity is not stellar and sillage is average.

Fresh white flowers with smokey undertones almost incensy to my nose.Almost all if not all floraiku is subtle, simplistic, that's why people think it's not worth their high price. But most of the time less is more,most of the time I want something serene ,I enjoyed it,it smells nice,not offensive to others..then why not.

Starts off soapy and clean, mellows to citrus and lingers musky by nighttime. It does remind me of fabric softener, but a really elegant one. Wouldn't pay full price for this, but its nice to have in my samples drawer. It seems like this line is really meant to be layered.
