Sparkling Star Passionfruit

I was always a fan of Pacificas perfume line. I've own only two of their most popular goody foody scents and was hoping to add this in my collection. The notes seemed promising, thinking this would be a tropical or fruity type of scent. Nope. This is horrible. It smells rancid, chemically, and just plain bad. I do think its the passion fruit in this composition that destroys its peculiar notes because this is probably one of the worst scents that I have sniffed.

This is my first ever negative review. I really hate to say this but...What in the world is going on with this one? I love Pacifica fragrances. I always have a few of them around, and they normally are amazing/delicious. But the mark was missed here. I don't smell patchouli. Maybe that would improve it. I smell something like Fruit Loops soaked in Pine Sol (or some kind of cleaning solution) next to a (bug repellant) Citronella candle. The dry-down is slightly more tolerable and becomes just an odd, sweet, chemical fruit scent.

I blind bought this at marshalls because it was only 8 or 9 dollars. Unfortunately it smells like rotten fruit and armpits. But based on the notes I should like this, so I don’t know what went wrong Edit: I sprayed it in the air a couple days later to give it another chance. This time it smelled like a garbage bag filled with old food.

Me first to review! As a big Pacifica fan; I was in ULTA and never saw this one before. (How did this one get by me?) This has the same incredibly real JUICY quality as many of their others. I mean hyper-realistic and utterly refreshing! Like the life of a butterfly- Longevity is fragile. (Not ALL Pacificas have short life-spans however. Their Gardenia stays around for an hour or 2 more). I love these compact lil Pacifica bottles and I would recommend keeping them in your locker or desk drawer at work. If you are having a dull & depressing day -- take one of them out and spritz as a tropical pick-me-up. Your co-workers will barely smell it and it will give you a little lift. Love them. Oh- beautiful packaging too!

I purchased the roller-ball on clearance at ULTA, they seem to be discontinuing it - not sure, but I could not find it in the spray bottle. Nice, super sweet aroma, but fleeting, which could be because I have dry skin. Pacifica's solid perfumes work much better on me. I can detect the amber for a few minutes which is nice.
