Alenushkin's Fairytales Алёнушкины Сказки

Picking fresh wild strawberries with your grandma on a cool, foggy summer morning. Mushing the sweet, ripe berries into a glass of warm, sugary milk... It is not. I have plenty of sentimental memories associated with wild strawberries from spending my childhood summers in rural Russia, and subsequently had high expectations for this fragrance. I was anticipating something familiar, comforting and nostalgic, but was left disappointed. To me this smells like a very linear, cheapie fragrance for kids. The strawberry is as synthetic as it gets, and gave me a headache whenever I wore this. In spite of that, the sillage was nonexistent and lasting power ended up being very poor. Love the concept, but not the execution, especially for the price - I'll have to keep looking for a realistic wild strawberry scent.
