Really love this one. I don't usually go for the super fruity scents these days. Not sure what terry cloth accord consists of... it doesn't come off as cotton or linen, truly has a textured feel of terry cloth to this scent and I find that kind of amazing. I consider the terry cloth accord to be top notes as it dissipates quickly. Very juicy, super ripe & sweet papaya is the fruit, almost candied. I suspect there maybe a little coconut dancing in the background as well. Gardenia is what seems to give this one longevity for me especially, for a mist yet the fruity quality also lingers. I had a signature scent from VS' garden line almost 3 decades ago that I so loved, Exotic Bouquet. PS layered with B&BW's Midnight Blue Citrus is terribly close to a dead on match to my beloved (yet long discontinued) EB. Close enough to make me giddy. Glad I scooped up a few of these while they lasted. If you love more exotic fruity florals, then I'd say take PS for a spin.

It smells fruity but feels smooth on the skin.

Notes from the actual bottle: Gardenia, terry cloth, & juicy papaya When I first had my mist, I could really smell the "terry cloth" accord. It had this fresh linen type effect that gave it a laundry twist I didn't like. It is tropical and clean, not citrusy. Now that I've had this for over a year, it has really sweetened. That laundry effect is gone, and now it's a super-sweet mellow fruity scent. It reminds me of a lite version of Mojave Ghost. Linear, fruity, slightly shampoo-y. It has that bubblegum effect that perfumes with cactus fruit (prickly pear) or sapodilla sometimes have. The projection is moderate at first then it chills out after 30 minutes. It sticks to clothing well. This was a great summer collection, and all 4 scents rocked. If I ranked the notes, I'd say it's 80% papaya, 20% terry cloth (until it ages). I can't smell any gardenia.

One of my favorites but sadly discontinued. Can only buy from resellers now😭 very clean while still being juicy and fruity. And lasts forever for me.
