Misaki

I am wearing my sample right now- have been trying to get my hands on it for a long time now. At some point was even so deperate to get it, that I would have bought it without testing. Glad I didn't! It's not to say that it's a bad smell, it is just not as I imagined. Instead of an airy ethearal smell of "japanese fairies" ( the association my mind produces out of the name and bottle design;-)))you get a frag of quite a substance. The lavender tastes very sweet here, almost like drenched in syrup, don't detect any freshness of mint nor bergamot at this stage ( about 10 minutes). Tea is also very essential, strong- definitely it's not the white or green variety, but rather rich black kind of taste. Having said all of that the smell gets more refined with every minute, and the less prominent notes are just starting to emerge. Still this could easily be an unisex smell, and perhaps more suited for a man. Anyone who likes girly, romantic and feminine scents- this will most probably be not up your street.
