Coralina

Fragrance Notes: • Top: Tunisian Neroli, Italian Mandarin, Italian Bergamot • Heart: Violet Leaf Absolute, Provence Mimosa • Base: Galbanum, French Orris Absolute Coralina – This is truly a chic and lovely fragrance, spring in a bottle. The mimosa is complimented by the slightly powdery iris. The violet in the fragrance is quite strong which elevates the fragrance quite nicely along side its woody undertones. I would like to mention that Carolina can be rather scratchy if overly sprayed; a light mist works best for this lovely fragrance. It starts really strong and evolves into a tender type of scent. Sillage varies in intensity depending on application. This stunningly gorgeous, and absolutely delightful fragrance has quite persistent longevity.

I was rather reckless and blind bought this. I love iris but was a bit worried about the mimosa. I was worried that it might smell old lady but no, its very fresh and lovely. Yes, there is a touch of powderiness but not much. I think the iris, mimosa and violet dominate on me and work beautifully together. Its not harsh as many of these types of florals can be. There is a softness and sweetness. Beautifully balanced. The sillage is moderate as is the longevity. Beautifully packaged as usual.

My perfume is green too. I am sure it was not that colour when I first acquired it! Maybe the juice is evolving over time to match better with its true scent. I find this a gentle, calming fragrance evoking the quieter mysteries and wonders of spring. It's very smooth, and I think it's good scent to help find some moments of peace for yourself. It could take you to a fantasy forest by a stream, where violets and iris grow in clumps near the water's edge, where you feel the trees shading you all around and only letting through the occasional glowing grains of golden pollen to float down and remind you that the sun is up there, warming the world.

This is so pretty! The mimosa is beautiful, so is the violet and powder. Nothing sharp, unpleasant or too sweet. The only problem I have is that it may be too pretty. I see a woman in a frilly white dress, big hat, in a flower ornamented swing, beautiful garden, sunlight. It's soo pretty, but that's not me! Like the dresses from the same brand- pretty , well made, but not me, not my life. I only got to try it once before my decant fell and broke, but my recycling smells so good now I may have to reconsider...

Lovely lovely scent, powdery, warm and sweet but still fresh and with a nice energy. A great combination of classic and young.. Very clear and bright mimosa and violet. This perfume has got a strong personality, to me a floral scent like no other. Stays on for several hours. Starts off quiet sharp and evolves into a bouquet of flowers and ends up powdery in a very nice way.
