A fun and playful yet surprisingly reserved sweet apple and creamy sandalwood bomb. Opens with fresh, sweet, and soapy with green apple, androgynous white florals, and an overdose of creamy white musks. Then as it dries down the creamy “milk” note reveals itself to be sandalwood as the sandalwood mixes with the apple, clean musks, and maybe a hint of rosewood (but more a medley of woods than specifically rosewood) Super easy to wear, simple skin scent for someone looking for a good signature scent that virtually no one would dislike. The soapy/fruity apple opening and milky mid reminds me a lot of a simplified take of “Cow” by Zoologist perfumes, so if you want a bit more of a robust/niche take on this dna, get your nose on that one. Overall it’s good, but not something I will be going out to purchase anytime soon, but this would make a really safe gift for someone not super into fragrances, but might be better for those who prefer more feminine targeted fragrances. 7/10.

I really love this! It's fuzzy, warm, woody, and white floral. Sort of a velvety texture to it. I'm not personally getting apple at all, but I suppose there is a subtle touch of freshness or a tartness there that gives it a bit of lift, I just don't perceive it as apple. Not overly girly or sweet, but definitely feminine, in a reserved, balanced sort of way. I find this fragrance really well rounded and subtle as someone who is pretty sensitive to overly-sweet, perfumey smells. Edit: I have demoted this from a love to a like. It was my third ever fragrance, and I think now that I've smelled more things, I just don't crave this one anymore and have realized there's a lot out there that excites me more. It's just nice, but I find that I'm wanting something to give it more interest, a savory note, something green, something mossy, I'm not sure exactly.

got this in my 4pc sample set. i didn't love it upon first try, not super sure why. i revisited it the other day, after not touching it for a few weeks, and i'm pretty glad i did! i find it to be very floral all the way through. i love jasmine so this is a plus. and i LOVE the milkiness in the beginning, and the woody notes that linger once it dries. i can't say i'm in a rush to purchase a full sized bottle, but i do enjoy it. i just wish it had a little more something to it. i think it's just a bit "soft" for my liking. maybe i need to try layering it w something else? i haven't worn it enough to say how it clings to clothes, but i think i get at least 6-ish hours out of it. i find it to be quite strong in the first two hours, someone said they could smell it from across the room at one point.

This is a linear, fresh fragrance that smells like tart crisp apples, sweetened milk and has a subtle musk base. This is slightly sweet, but definitely not gourmand, and somewhat soapy. It is invigorating and delightful, unisex and unique. This has moderate projection, creating a fresh bubble around the wearer. Good longevity, likely due to the musky notes. This is a keeper.

This one I think I’ll have to keep sampling to make up my mind. I’m getting like a light sliced Granny Smith apple in a floral milk bath. If that even makes sense. The Jasmine is nice but definitely not the front like in no 602. This is one I’ll have to try on skin but I do find the dry down to be on the woody side. I have a feeling it’ll smell very different on skin.

Mail shock is so real--I hated it so much when I first sprayed it. Waited about a month or so & tried again. Upon initial spray, there's so much apple, which I struggle with. I LOVE the smell of apples, but unless that note fades really quickly, it's just too sharp and aquatic for me and will result in an upset tummy. After about 10 - 15 minutes, the apple gives way to the bright, soapy smell that everyone else is mentioning, which I quite like. The creamy wood & musk notes start coming through and it's just generically nice smell. I caught myself wanting a deeper, more gourmand feel out of this one. I decided to layer with a tiny dab of Al-Rehab Golden Sand oil and it brings it closer to where I wanted to be (I mean what doesn't smell amazing with golden sand), but still isn't quite there. I don't really like the idea of purchasing a frag just for layering. IMO, that means it's an underdeveloped fragrance and isn't worth my time. It's just fine.

A little sweet, but nice. Balanced. Softer. Apple, yes! Warm woods and arid air. If milk is here, it's felt more than smelled. More tart, less gourmand. Floral, but subtly sweet. The rosewood is very present and I love it. On my skin, the wood is warm and rounded. A gentle hint of spice appears, likely from the clever combination of rosewood, jasmine and ozonic accords. The simplicity of this structure allows each featured note to shine. Not as watery as other apple fragrances, and no tea, but still light and bright. So far, at first spritz and initial drydown, it's lovely. The sillage is beautiful and not too loud. I don't get much (if any) milk on my skin — no sourness. EDIT: The drydown got too heavy, too musky, too sweet. All freshness lost, too soon. Eh.

Powdery, Musky, Lactonic, Fruity Good classic basic wardrobe staple sort of scent. Good for layering with other scents. Powdery Jasmine and hint of sweet green apple in the opening. powdery jasmine and sweet musk in the middle, ending in a mostly sweet musk. Sillage: 2/5 Projection: 2/5 Longevity: 2/5 Leans feminine

To me this opened so beautifully, but then I adore jasmine so I'm not suprised about that. What got me though was the drydown, it's not what I was expecting. To me this dried down soapy and masculine. The apple and wood notes smell more like a men's fragrance. Of course all noteworthy frags are marketed as unisex so that's no issue, it just suprised me. I think what suprises me on this one is that I'm used to sandalwood and musk paired with gourmand notes like vanilla and caramel. When you have those without the gourmand warmth you get something that pulls masc but smells very clean and bright. To me, this gives men's body wash. Not a bad frag but as a very girly girl, I'm not sure it's for me. I'm going to try layering with a rich gourmand like bianco latte and see if we land with something warm, not soapy.

This is very light and powdery. Smells soapy and lightly floral in the opening. The heart is more lactonic and the rosewood begins to pull through. The base is a veil of powder. I don’t get any apple, but maybe that’s the soapy smell. I like the scent, but it does lean more grandmotherly, but a sweet grandmother who hugs you close into her soft body and you get that clean powder whiff. Like you’re hugging a cloud. I have noticed that noteworthy scents last at a tops of 2 hours. I got a travel size because they had a buy 4, get 30% off, but I will not buy a full size in this scent. You would have to keep respraying throughout the day, so a travel size or atomizer is a must.

one of my favorite easy reach fragrances. to me, it’s very linear and simplistic from start to finish, and smells like a bowl of sliced, mildly sweet apples in sweet cream. not woody, not floral, not too much in any way. a complete surprise find for me and an instant love. it’s especially lovely in the autumn. somehow i’ve gone through about 50mLs in a year. it smells like nothing i’ve personally smelled before and i find it lasts eternally on skin and clothes, though it never projects far from either which is never a problem for me.

Slightly spiced apples with fluffy jasmine and milky musks and a subtle warm woodiness. Reminiscent of Cow from Zoologist with that clean musky milky thing going on, but not as grassy or earthy. This is more floral, sweeter, and has a spice to the apple note where Cow does not.

Tart, woody, salty. Reminds me of Womanity by Mugler.
