Pink Flowers

This is another fluffy pink "gateway gourmand". It's strange that there are no reviews here and nothing online, and I can sort of see why. This is all girly pink flowers and diet loukhoum. It's super light and not sweet. It reminds me of Boise Torride and/or any of the pinky Guerlains because I get a ton of pink flowers. It has a loukhoum feel, but it's a loukhoum with training wheels, or "loukhoum light". This is very dry and unsweetened, like loukhoum made with splenda instead of sugar?? However, what makes this stand out is a deep dark patchouli note. It's not the skanky patchouli and it's not the dryer sheets patchouli. It's a clean but earthy patchouli. I actually would have sworn it was oud - the same oud that's in M. Micallef Aoud Gourmet. This composition is all about the contrast. The light fluffy pinks against that deep dark oudy patchouli. Wearing it feels like I am walking through a rose garden in the summer, sniffing the pink roses, and all of a sudden a vampire comes out of nowhere. What made me laugh is when I goggled, "vampire in the sun" a pic of a sparkly Edward Cullen came up! Yes, this perfume is kind of like that...

Why do I think of Chanel Chance Tendre whenever I wear this lovely fragrance? This is a very easy, pretty, summer fragrance which is fresh, sweet and uplifting. There is nothing complicated about the notes, except that like all M. Micallef perfumes, the ingredients are great quality and the longevity is very good. Well you would expect that from this perfume house! This fragrance has all the ingredients for a successful crowd pleasing perfume. Nothing wrong with that! I love wearing it and I get loads of complements when I do. It's not to sweet, never cloying or overbearing and if I were to give it a gender, I would say this is very feminine in composition. Longevity about 6 hours and silage is good for a few hours, but it becomes more toned down as it settles into the dry down.

I smell grapefruit! Def summer or hot weather fragrance.
