Bluebell & Wild Strawberry

absolutely love! I read all the reviews on here and was incredibly excited to try it. It is a fresh, crisp bluebell, with more of the wild strawberry on paper than on my skin - it’s there but it’s more of a general greenness that you can smell, much more wild strawberry than strawberry so I wouldn’t call this fruity. The bergamot is really lovely, I don't get much of the blackberry but it makes the whole fragrance smell very well rounded and soft in a way. The dry down is slightly warm and the woodiness is sweet. Will be wearing every spring.

I got a little travel size of this as I absolutely adore a good bluebell perfume, ever since I fell in love with (and sadly never bought and now it's discontinued 😭💔) Boadicea the Victorious' Delicate. Delicate was so green, floral and not just PRETTY but ethereal -- but it was just sadly out of my price range. I find bluebell to be such a quintessentially British smell, so charming, innocent and fairy like. Bluebell and Wild Strawberry captures this essence and is indeed delicate, pretty and very British in spirit, but....having smelled Delicate, this falls a bit short of the mark for me. That one had green and grassy notes which captured not just the florals but the meadow in which they grew, and therein lied the magic for me (again - how I kick myself now for not having splurged on it!). However, I don't mean to sell this one short - it IS super pretty, very wearable with moderate sillage, 100% office appropriate and very nicely done, and if you love delicate florals, this is a very safe blind buy! For me, it just doesn't excite me enough to consider a larger size. Boadicea's Delicate had a quirkiness this one is missing and remains my benchmark bluebell. Whereas Delicate leaned more 'Alice in Wonderland', Molton' Brown's bluebell offering is more prim and proper, buttoned-up Downton Abbey - like ;-) It's perfectly nice, it's just not the bluebell for me.

It smells exactly as I expected it to smell. With some blackberries, with that probably bluebell. At one point I wanted to buy Stella McCartney's Pop Bluebell blind, but the performance ratings stopped me. I think this Molton Brown is a more potent Pop. It has a woody ambery base, very pleasant. It is resilient, it deserves the name of the niche, the price is still a bit high. Like!

ヒヤシンスの香りが本当に苦手だけれと、同じ種類のブルーベルは大丈夫でした。 清潔感ある香りでちょっと不思議な香りです。 フローラル?ウッディ?フルーティー?

I bought the full bottle fully expecting to be in love with this fragrance. I thought it would somehow be akin to their “Delicious Rhubarb & Rose” fragrance which I’m absolutely obsessed with. I surely wish it was more similar but alas, “Bluebell & Wild Strawberry” is all bluebell, driftwood & woody tones to me. There is strawberry somewhere far away in the background, but it unfortunately gets drowned out by the stronger notes. This is quite more full-bodied & loud than I had expected also. The projection is easily over 6ft & the longevity is decent. I kept searching & hoping for that strawberry & blackberry to come forward but they stayed disappointingly faint. The bluebell & driftwood stay the star of the show the whole way through. I pick up the bergamot, tuberose & lily of the valley as well, which are all very lovely. I just wish the strong floral & loud woody tones could have been balanced out more by some subtly sweet strawberry & blackberry. I still love this brand for their consistently great quality, but I would say this isn’t a safe blind buy. And if you were hoping for more fruit with your floral, I would definitely recommend sampling Rhubarb & Rose if you haven’t already. I give this fragrance 3 out of 5 stars & I will still try to find a way to wear this occasionally.
