OMG- G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! Reminds me of a cross between Profumum Roma's 'Eccelso' and Bvlgari 'Jasmin Noir'- but definitely has its own, unique character. Heavy floriental in a modern (but quite natural) style that also refers backward to traditional floral attars. Definitely added to my want-list from this line.

This is the only one I don't like out of the fragrance republic line. It's not a bad scent -- it just reminds me of the way woody floral perfumes smelled in the 80s-90s without being a complete sillage bomb. It smells dated and musky but if you like this sort of thing the sillage is decent and the longevity is very good. I put it on to sleep and could smell it on me in the morning.

Poor Amélie Bourgeois, being French, could not have realized when she was making this fragrance that it is a dead ringer for Avon's Soft Pink Bubble Bath.

Musty, milky coumarin with floral accents starts this one off. It’s a buttery yellow scent that feels full, but not cloying. Woody facets seem to be present, but they’re light and unobtrusive. There’s a note that stands out as a tad peppery and feels a little out of place, but overall, this is the best of the four I’ve tried from this line so far (going in sequence). It’s sunny, warm, and a bit of a nostalgia trip. Picture a more fatty, lactonic yet watered-down Marc Jacobs Daisy and you’ll be headed in the right direction. Gone within an hour, but it was a fairly enjoyable while it lasted.
