Aqua Allegoria Florabloom

(Here are some scents I love so you can tell if we share similar tastes which I feel affect a review so much; Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense, Aquatic Vanilla Dossier, Floral Marshmallow Dossier, CH Good Girl Blush, Fame Women Paco Rabanne, Burberry Her Intense, Alien Goddess Mugler, Soleil Blanc TF, Lost Cherry TF, Mod Vanilla Ariana Grande, CK One/Be) This is a FANTASTIC scent. I love violet so much, especially when it is so well done such as in this fragrance. It's powdery, however not overly so, and has a sweet facet due to the tuberose I can't get enough of. If I had to choose, the opening is my least favorite because of the lime, but the drydown is just so so lovely! To me this also smells sorta nutty, like a walnut. The sandalwood is to me what makes this scent so much more sophisticated than say Paco Rabanne's Fame (women's). The mango is 100% there in the beginning, however it takes a back seat the more this perfume dries down. The coconut is also there, and it's the kind I love which is more nutty as opposed to green. I have a sample of the Forte version, however got this as a gift and I have to admit I think I like this one a bit more. The forte version is slightly more mango forward, and definitely less nutty, but it is also creamier. A love at first sniff, perfect for summer.

The coconut drydown has an addictive butteriness. Florabloom opens with fruity florals. I can't pick out specific fruit or flowers but it is bright and pretty, slightly creamy. The top notes disperse quickly and what is left is an odd, salty and musky base. It is odd, almost plasticky, somewhat sunscreen like, and I believe it may be whatever is used to create the coconut. The synthetic aquatic salt coconut becomes prominent, like a creamy coconut conditioner, still a little sweet and a little floral. Thankfully, the salt fades significantly becoming a background facet of the coconut. (Salt notes turn my stomach, but I don't mind it here at all, it actually adds substance to the fragrance.) Florabloom was a mild, appreciative 'like' that turned into a love. I became so enamored with the coconut that I bought a bottle. This is not loud, but the scent will stay for hours and hours on skin and days on clothes or hair.

I don’t usually gravitate towards scents that have Flowers/florals in the name, because flowers just don’t sound that appealing to me. But I got a free sample of this, and it blew my mind immediately. If the longevity proves to be decent, I will buy a full bottle of this ASAP. It reminds me a little bit of D&G dolce garden, which is another one that gives floral vibes, but is actually very sweet and coconut forward. I think it’s the coconut in both that calls my name. This one is very creamy and polite and sooo pleasant. I get a whiff of sunscreen, powder and coconut, but some flowers too... It’s a little odd choice for autumn, this would absolutely rock in the summer, but I think I need this right away in m collection.

It's floral, it's fruity, it's zingy, it's happy and carefree. Use it heavily, often, and don't expect to keep it for five years. When it's gone, it's gone, and we move on to the next. These are the kind of notes that turn fast and it would be a pity not to use it if you have it. Because of this feeling of lightheartedness, of happiness, it's great on sunshine days, applied right when coming out of the shower. It's not meany to be seductive or for a party night, it's meant to help you hum on the way to work or for that ice cream with the girls.

omg I love this!!!! this is a perfect combo of tropical fruits with different kind of florals smells like an everyday easy reach fragrance! I bought the forte version first but found a bit too intense for hot weather but the edt is so perfect, not as muksy as the forte version, the forte version do smell stronger (you have to spray less as well) while the edt is so much better imo! a love for me. The tuberose is also much stronger here while the mango in the forte version is much more heavier on my skin~ I got 3 compliments from my colleagues~
