Extraordinary

Maraschino Cherries & Crystalized Candied Cherries... This underrated beauty is a a little slow to warm up. Signed by perfumers Bruno Jovanovic (Lady Million Paco Rabanne) and Pascal Gaurin (Love Sofia Vergara) this scent evokes the life cycle of the cherry blossom. Starting with a fruity burst of cherry blossom and laundry detergent (likely the neroli), and giving way to the part that makes it extraordinary IMO. Unlike most cherry blossom scents I've tried, the cherry blossom and citrus intensify to a sweet cherry amber with aquatic touches. Most cherry/raspberry scents start strong and quickly fade to an amber vanilla base (ie: Can Can Paris Hilton which I love but why can't the raspberry note last longer? or My Burberry Blush which I also love whose beautiful red fruit opening quickly fades to melon shampoo), but this one does the opposite. It's like the cherry blossom transforms into the fruit. Jovanovic and Gaurin obviously know what they're doing. It's a love for me! Update 07/29/24: Sprayed this on my wrist this morning, and was surprised at how strong it's become. It's gotten a lot sweeter and the vanilla-orchid is more forward, but still with some tangy sweet citrus. The neroli is there bringing some clean facets, and peony & rose come out more as it's drying down. This really shines in the heat and the rose gets quite jammy, like a cherry-rose jam with a sugar-crystal texture. I imagine maraschino cherries & crystalized candied cherries. Still a love.

I really like this perfüme. Although "Extraordinary" is NOT Extraordinary, It is indeed a very feminine & Very PRETTY perfüme. Its not an offensive fragrance. Very friendly. It has the most pleasant Cherry Blossom scent. I can detect it. So can others. Most people smile and say I smell like Cherry Blossoms. It's a happy little perfüme. Perfect for Spring. I use it with the matching lotion. Extraordinary has moderate projection and the longevity is actually pretty good. It lasted longer than I had expected. Especially for the price. I put it on about 7:00 am. I still smell it easily at 4:30 pm. It's definitely a good investment. It really smells like cherry blossoms. I was also surprised that it smells much more expensive than it is. It was a blind buy for me. No regrets on this one, none at all. Incidentally, the body lotion is surprisingly REALLY, REALLY NICE!!! The lotion Leaves my skin like silk. The lotion really kicks up the intensity, silage, and logevity. Very nice happy little springtime floral.

Ok, this is a compliment getter. It is fresh and it's best work in the summer. I work at Dillard's and I tried this on right after I blind bought it and guys the sillage is moderate but the projection is amazing. So I tried again the next day and I got the same compliments but got chase by one lady to asked for my perfume. I wear different perfume everyday so it is nice to get compliments. I would say this bright, light and floral scent with a little bit of freshness. If you like Lancome type of perfume but not as loud then this is an alternative to that. It can also be a signature all year round perfume.

I blind bought this for $21.99 Three days ago and have worn it to bed every night! I am obsessed with house juicy and floral it smells but not your grandmother's florals. There is something sparking and youthful about this and will definitely be wearing he to brunch and when I want to just feel pretty this fall. I already know she'll be a go to scent during the Spring and Summer too. I highly recommend grabbing this, especially if you see it for a good price. I would also add this to my list of easy gifts, I can't see anyone disliking this.

There are no words to describe how much I love the smell of this sweet, flowery, fresh perfume. When I smell this I envision sipping champagne in a garden full of fruit trees and flowers. I have avoided Oscar de le Renta perfumes, because in my mind they equated old, but this is anything but. This fades fast which is the one downfall, it lasts on clothes and if layered with lotion (I use a cherry blossom one) it definitely lasts longer. But I paid $20 for 100 ml of this so I feel no regrets reapplying throughout the day.
