The Ingénue Cousin Flora

Experience the allure of Flora, an enchanting little bird that I unearthed from obscurity within my collection, ending my long (and seemingly needless) search for the perfect summery citrus scent! Unfortunately, my skin reacts with citrus notes in an unplesant way. This fragrance, however, opens with a subtle bitterness from the peel, followed by a fruity mix of citrus fruits. A balanced herbal note compliments the citrus that along with a clean musk and a subtle ambroxan lend a fresh and airy quality, without overpowering the blend. The result is an uncomplicated but elegant fragrance that will be perfect for summer. While its longevity is moderate at 4-5 hours, it creates a pleasant scent bubble that is very noticeable and fades gracefully. Overall, I am absolutely thrilled to have been reintroduced to this beauty!

I had to have it. I was reading so much about this fragrance in this website that I was intrigued. It has some of my favourite notes, so I caved in and bought it. I was really excited at first and I wore it for a few days. But I don’t know what I was expecting, I felt I was going to be taking aback, I wanted to love it, but I just like it. I would not spend the money again to be honest. It is a little bit fizzy sparkly, like Dior home cologne. I I think I need to give it a go again but this is definitely not for winter. I like it but it has not robbed my heart! Update: This perfume is the bomb! It has really grown in me. My husbands loves it and wears it often. He wants to replace it and we probably will. Beautiful

I normally wear gourmand cosy perfume around the year but because of this hot wether I was looking for some refreshing scent. I do not like pungent, strong citrusy smell. This is what I was looking for of soft citrus scent. This is too clean and too simple, but enough for this crazy hot wether. The negative points are the longevity and the high price. Actually I do not get the animal design of the bottle cap nor the story behind.

Opened up to a very tangy citrus that went away in about half an hour then came a powdery musk and ambroxan. The musk and ambroxan were really good on my skin, making it smell so wonderful; soft and clean, a smell I would love to snuggle to. Alas the scent didn’t last long enough. But while it lasted, it was heavenly.

I blind bought this for the bottle but was amazed at how much I am Liking this scent. It’s a sparkling citrus easily unisex with decent longevity. For those familiar with the now discontinued Jasper Conran Woman, it is quite similar but without the ginger accord. I’m reaching for this daily at the moment
