Madagarcar Orchid

Lisa Hoffman Variations Madagascar Orchid! Lovely! Everything about this fragrance(fragrances) is just lovely! From the presentation, to the quality and actual scent! Beautiful box and inside is a very stylish leather wallet with 4 oils. I can distinguish every flower of the notes list. The morning oil is reminiscent of a walk through an exotic garden after soft rain where the sunlight is reflecting on the crystal clear raindrops. As the day grows, the sun is rising higher and higher and it's warming up the petals. The soft freshness is taken over by a sweet and vibrant warmth! Finally as the evening announces the departure of the day and the sun is descending beyond the horizon, you are reaching for the silk scarf on your shoulder. Place it on the ground! Lie down and rest your head on the silk. Take a deep breath! Now let the soft wind bring the heavenly aromas into your heart soul and thoughts! Enjoy the serenity!

A floral fragrance with little sillage and lasting power. There's a strange note almost like vomit hiding among the flowers. It develops quickly after opening and spoils what should be a nice, but not exceptional perfume.

Found this in EDP spray @ TJ Maxx today...$7.99 for 2oz. This goes on like a ROOM SPRAY !! But....wait....wait..let it develop on the skin and dry-down a bit...and..."Voila !"....you have a very nice scent afterall....lol. What a weird opening...harsh and room-spray-ish... The notes suggest ALL floral...but there must be other notes creating the underlying "earthiness" that developes...???...or is it just the combo/blend of the notes creating this effect..??. Sillage/projection is big at first...then mellows out to be medium sillage/projection. I will have to full wear this again to fully understand this one,but for now, it is a "like"
