Malibu Lemon Blossom

THIS might be one of the yummiest fragrances I have ever put on my skin!!!! I'm so happeeee! :D Ok, I'll calm down and act my age now. Ha :) I live in HOT, humid Texas. This week, finding a lemony, fresh, non-perfumey fragrance has become a sudden, urgent priority. I read the reviews for this, and ordered blindly, hoping for the best, but not sure what I'd receive. It just arrived, and it's sooo pretty, delicate, sugary, lemony, transparent, clean, delightful....my goodness. I love it with all my heart. And its SO affordable! I hope this doesn't turn some off , but the floral touch in this smells a little bit to me like some perfumer took the best, freshest part of Philosophy's Pure Grace, and blended it with lightly sugared lemons. *swoon* This, and L'Occitane 's Lemon Verbena (which I also just discovered, and love with the same enthusiasm) are lemony treasures to me. :) Edit: I kind of spoke too soon. Oops. This seemed so perfect at first! I have to say though.....I was so sad to discover as I wore this, that the perfectly refreshing, delish lemon-drop candy top-note REALLY fades. :( It definitely stays pretty, but after 15 minutes, it is just faintly floral, and slightly salty. No more lemon. :( None. Oh well. It's very affordable, so I don't regret purchasing, to enjoy those first 15 glorious minutes! :) (over and over all day! Lol) It's just not the HG I was proclaiming it to be yesterday. For a burst of lemon that stays lemon until it's gone, I've got my L'Occitane Verbena EDT. :) Maybe I'll combine the two. Edit #2: This is a def fav now. Lasts forever, gets tons of compliments, and makes me feel fresh and feminine. After I've sprayed on another frag, I find myself regretting it, and pining for this. Lol

Someone needs to change the notes on this. These are the real notes, from the Pacifica website: This fresh scent captures the free spirit of the Pacific Ocean with Lemon Blossom, Litsea Cubeba, flowering Angel's Trumpet, fresh herbs and salty sea breezes. Absolutely beautiful, another scent that reminds me so strongly of the salty water, cool breezes, hot sun, fruits and flowers of living near the Equator. I fell in love from the first lemony whiff to the flowery heart to the salty last notes. It manages to capture the light-heartedness of the beach while remaining pretty and feminine, without the harshness of Bobbi Brown's Beach. I anticipate that this will be a staple for me for many years to come.

I purchased this because of the Litsea note. It's discontinued so I had to find this on Ebay and at first I was note sure if I want to pay the price for a 40% filled bottled but I am so glad i did. This scent is beautiful!!!!!! I am a citrus lover and have lots of citrus scents in my fragrance collection and this one is a true standout. It doesn't smell like lemon to be except for the zest but the lemon blossom flower is exceptional. It projects very well on my skin. It make me feel free and happy. I will have to savor this but I will be looking for more lemon blossom scents to add to my scent repertoire.

I love, love, love the smell of lemon blossoms, and this company captures the scent better than any other (and there aren't many out there to choose from). It's clean and fresh and so fabulous on hot, sunny days. Because it's the lemon blossom, it's more of a sweet, creamy lemon rather than a sour or acidic lemon scent. Reminds me of the lemon custard ice cream that my local ice cream shop stopped making! Update: I've layered this with Pacifica's Spanish Amber (for depth and sultriness. Smells like incense). I also tried layering with French Lilac (for a super clean and fresh summery-spring scent).

When I first smelled this one from the bottle I though "ew, lemon." That's all I got from it. Luckily I became obsessed with Pacifica perfumes and wanted all of them so I gave this another try. Sure there is a pungent and tangy blast of lemon, but there is so much more! There is a salty ocean note and a beautiful white floral note that really shines overtime. The white floral being lemon blossom and a very true lemon blossom note it is! The effect is very summery and beachy. The smell of sunshine and ocean water! This is a love.
