Memoirs of a Geisha

This is a glorious fragrance with an absolutely terrible name. What on earth were they thinking of when they decided to name this after a movie. Oh, that doesn't date it or anything. This is the most underrated fragrance in the entire Fresh line in my opinion and is underrated in general. Please do not let the cheesy name scare you away from this heavenly Asian fragrance. The notes listed in the fragrance description are pretty accurate and not misleading in any way. You also get pretty much the same fragrance in the dry down as you do when you spray it, it is fairly constant throughout. The peach, mandarin and musk are the highlights for me and what seemed to draw me to it. Although there is much more going on than that. Initially I thought of it as a spring/summer fragrance but I honestly feel this can be worn year around because of the touch of sandalwood. This is an utterly feminine fragrance that will bring you compliments. I can't think of anything else that smells like this. Unique and beautiful and highly recommended.

This is what I wore in high school, with flowy hippie skirts and peasant blouses. A very uplifting, easy-to-wear scent that is noticeable without being cloying: lasted all day, with a sillage of about an arm's length (which is all I want in a perfume). The fruity scents were the first to drop off on my skin, with the florals taking center stage an hour or so in -but the sandalwood kept it rooted. Not too complex, not too fussy: just fresh and pleasant. I have a bottle with a tiny bit left that is over 10 years old at this point - smells just as I remember with no turning at all. I don't want to use it, because it's so nostalgic to me: the smell of high school. But it gives me hope that I could probably track this down on ebay and not get a stale perfume.

I bought my first bottle of this back when the film was released 17 years ago. I’ve replaced it every five years or so, it keeps incredibly well if stored well. To me this is a complex and fresh scent that is rather comforting, maybe because I’ve worn it so long. It seems what I would consider base notes are all in the middle so the sandalwood, iris and musk bloom before a clean, citrusy dry down.

Not wise of Fresh to make this in a limited edition. It's by far their best fragrance. I've never had any inclination to buy their other scents. It's summery, fruity, slightly tropical, like lychee and peach mixed together. The staying power is surprisingly excellent.

I love this! This is the ideal "Asian" scent! It is mysterious, light, clean, citrus, lovely! Too bad it was a limited edition... I hate it when the products I love are no longer available!!
