On Ella

I have started to realise over the past couple of months, that i have quite a few "comfort" scents that i am turning to more frequently now that cold weather is truly setting in, the majority being musky or vanillic perfumes which suit british weather, but this little underrated and pretty unknown gem is an exception!! This is my scented ray of uplifting sunshine in a bottle :)I adore it. It is far more fruity than floral to my nose,and although it is not listed as a fragrant note, i smell blackberry the most (cassis is similar) the other discernible notes are the juicy papaya and the freesia giving the fragrance an airy and summery feel. The dry-down is a lovely, soft and pleasing woody/musk, just enough to keep getting wafts of it throughout the day. I used to love a blackberry flavoured water when i was younger, and i always thought it tasted slightly "perfumey" but i couldn't get enough of it. Well, this perfume is the identical scented equivalent of that drink, so when i first smelt this, i went right back to my care-free childhood days again, hence why it has become a comfort scent for me. I especially love spraying this on my pillow and bedsheets before bedtime as it makes me leap on my bed and stuff my face into my pillow so i can keep inhaling this "feel-good" elixir. A very unassuming mossy green coloured bottle hides a magical scented journey back to my younger days. A real winner in my book. xx

Gorgeous bottle. Perfect summer scent! Reminds me of Calyx, but more citrusy and far less chypre. I get a ton of limey mandarin/blackcurrant in the opening and its just INCREDIBLE! I don't get ck1, I think this is more femme, and more green. Might need a backup bottle, I have so many perfumes but none like this. 30ml might not be enough!

To me most of the notes listed really don't describe this fragrance. I do not get flowers or fruit or citrus at all. Maybe blended together with the tonic bean, vetiver and musk they give off this earthy woody scent. Looking at the pyramid, this fragrance is strictly the base notes. It has a slightly dirty vibe, and by that I mean like clean wet soil (the black kind you buy at Home Depot for potted plants). Its light and evasive and hard to describe. Maybe thats why this works, its not an obvious fragrance. If worn it doesn't scream Flowers! or Spicy! its just kind of a lingering skin scent that is quite exotic. For a cheap fragrance (I picked up a tester at a perfume outlet for like $10) its quite complex and veers toward being unisex. Not a good blind buy, but worth the risk if one is inclined to do so. Thumbs up.

I wore this ten years ago. It has a very simple scent, like cheap deodorant but there was something strange to it. I could smell: lavender + delicate cold anise-like "medicinal", old pharmacy scent - it could be papaya note (the fruit is almost scentless) + plastic + fresh crispy lettuce leaves covered in earth + something earthy, salty, like car exhaust or oil rafinery scent, or even salty broth? On hot days that lettuce note was more prominent, aquatic and refreshing better than anything else (it's perfume from Spain and they know how to cope in hot weather) On cold days I smelled velvety lavender. It was slightly masculine but comfortable (like having your lover boy near at the time when you can't be with him) I think On Ella was Pozo's answear to CK One (names - One / On Ella and the papaya note)

I personally like this one!! It fresh, airy light and exquisite!! It not completely floral it starts the way but the dry down turns into this fresh scent. I can sense that the osmanthus hit you just right. The combination of florals and fruits makes it sweet, light, and clean. I didn't get any citrus at all!!
