Sweet Flowers

At this point there's no denying: I am a full blown "gourmie". Love the sweet confectionery fume's; and these day's; the market is rife with them. They churn 'em out; but finding one with enough quality & complexity for 49 year old me to plausibly wear; is no piece of cake. (abominable pun, sorry!) Sweet Flowers is the sybaritic cotton candy treat I've been waiting for. Buoyant top notes of spun sugar; vivid jasmine; (ala' Kuumba M.) peaches in syrup, and a fresh punch of ginger give way to powder as it drys down, but reads cotton candy throughout. That, Maison Margiela, is how you replicate fun. Tasteful projection, and long lasting; as you would expect from Montale.

Very nice this! i love, happy and sweet perfume. the longevity and the sillage are as always excellent in Montale perfumes =)

Wow this is a total dupe of valentina blush. I cant even distinguish this from valentina blush which I wear often

This smells like La vie est Belle but with a cotton note. Very pleasant and somewhat comforting to me. I like it!

Vanilla, cotton candy and a slight lemony/citrussy bitter note- maybe the ginger? Not overly sophisticated and not as strong as it could be; fancy shower gel in a fancy hotel might leave your skin.smelling like this. Not bad, but lacks the personality and potency I expected from this combo of notes+this house. UPDATE: to be fair to this frag, while the kind of mildly "nice but not wow" review I wrote above is still true, this has actually turned out to be one of my most worn fragrances as it is very likable, very sweet, very long-lasting and a complete no-brainer to spritz and go when in a hurry. It has very much been worth the money to me through 2021, and I'm still wearing it about once a fortnight into 2022 despite having a large fragrance wardrobe to choose from. Pretty candyfloss and ginger is just such a nice pick-me-up. Sweet, luxe, cheerful and easy-to-wear and in truth what's wrong with that?
