So Real Cheap & Chic

This is so pretty! It smells like those sherbet punch drinks but with a twist. Imagine making one of those sherbet drinks but it is made with orange and lemon infused water with some zest floating in there and there are bouquets of peonies and magnolias right next to it on the table and a hint of jasmine coming from the neighbor's yard. LOL. It's very, very orange. Very, very sorbet. Fresh and citrusy sweet with that waft of peonies and magnolia in the air. Love this! I will be buying a bottle of this. I only got a sample so far.

This little wonder definitely took me by surprise as I've never been a particular fan of the brand. What a beautiful and sparkling summer scent, perfect for these hot days. I feel instantly refreshed when spritzing it on, and end up smelling lovely (or should I say heavenly) for the rest of the day as well. Drydown is creamy, fresh and floral in a way that suits women of all ages. The bottle looks fun and playful and positively different from the other ranges in the market. Love the artwork on it!

Sparkling bitter orange: FANTA! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! 🧡🍊🧡

I had to delete my previous review of this, as it was based on a fleeting impression from smelling the top notes while sampling at a fragrance counter in a department store. That led me to actually purchase a 1 oz. bottle of this scent. When I got home and actually got to try this out more properly, I realized that the opening orange notes, which are very pleasant without being sugary, last only thirty seconds to a minute. After that, this fragrance becomes a light floral (not a white floral, so at least it's got a little bit of character). It reminds me of daisies and dandelions, but it definitely doesn't retain the idea of citrus. Time to edit again: I have finally realized that this smells more floral in cold weather and more citrus in warm weather. Because of that, I would recommend in for warm weather wear to enjoy the light, fresh citrus scent. In warm weather, it is great for office wear because it is light and airy.

Tested 2018-10-15: Opens as an effervescent, smile-inducing orange creamsicle scent; delightfully delicious but dries catch- me-if-you-can quick before settling into a light, very pretty, nondescript floral. Woe is me, it didn't bloom beyond the blossoms and had a lifespan of less than 90 minutes. Oh, So Real, such a crazy cute bottle, but is that flower wink meant to mock us? Chic you may be, especially for the right body chemistry, but cheap, you most certainly are not! Still and all, I'd be curious to see how this would stand up on my 18-y.o., she gets great longevity (and $ value, apparently) with Moschino's I Love Love ...
