Bluebell + White Tea

As mentioned under my other Love2Love reviews, I came across this line on the website where I buy my fragrances from. Since buying all the scents in the line, this is all I've been wearing. I love them so much! Only the Freesia + Violets and Orange Blossom + Musk were available at the time, so I had to purchase this Blue Bell + White Tea online from Walmart. The 100 ml EDT was out of stock, so I had to pay for the gift set that comes with a mini mist, lotion, and 100 ml mist. Wow. This is my least favorite in the line. I think I should give it a bit of time to grow on me considering that I just received it, but so far, I am not that impressed. I feel bad because Clement Gavarry is the nose behind this and other scents that I had/own/want. It seems many others like/love this Bluebell fragrance, but for me, there is a note in it that I just don't like, and I can't figure out what it is. I get a strong blast of alcohol on the first spray, followed by Bergamot. The rest of the notes come through on the dry-down which are pleasant enough, soft, and clean. There is nothing unique about this scent-- for me, it's very forgettable. I don't see myself reaching for it as much as I do the Freesia and Jasmin (particularly), and Rose scents. So far, the Freesia is my favorite, with Jasmin coming in second. They are the only two I see myself repurchasing without a doubt. The one positive about this Bluebell scent is that it's soft and sits close to the skin, so it would be appropriate in environments where people are sensitive to fragrances. I don't like this enough to ever repurchase it, but I'm willing to give it some time and see if I feel differently.

This is my fourth fragrance from Love2Love, and I really like it. It is not novel or complex, but it is soft, pretty, and perfect for a hot, summer day. I get the florals and the amber and musk mixing together with hints of the bergamot and nectarine. I am finding that I quite like bergamot, at least this summer. It's nice that not everything has to be complex and expensive to be enjoyable to wear.

This is my first experience with a Love2Love. Blind Buy at Wal-Mart-- $9.99. I have no idea what real Bluebell smells like but this frag (EDT) smalls more like a body spray. Faint scent.... pleasant ..... a little generic..... ran out of things to say -- so that should tell you something.
