Santal Berry Silky

I was really pleasantly surprised by this fragrance! A strong espresso and berry opening that dries down to a discernable almond and sandalwood. It's really unique and i find espresso isn't always at the forefront of frgrance, especially in a body mist. Really glad i blund bought this!

Just another wee update. Something odd has been happening recently... Yesterday, a miracle happened: THIS BODY MIST SMELLED DIVINE. Divine I say! This wasn't anything expected at all. I put it on just so I don't feel guilty about 'wasting' my money on this, and POOF. Immediate, but still quite subtle change. Unlike normally, this didn't have the uglyyyyy, tiringgggg, disgustingggg scent of.... I don't actually even know what it was I was smelling. (Smelled like rotten beans, is the best way to describe it. For sure a lactonic scent, either way.) This time it smelled.. nice! It smelled like a sweet gourmand almond and coffee. Especially after settling in a while, I was bamboozled. How could this beautiful scent come out of the dreaded? How could I fall in love with a scent I so fondly hated? Flabbergasted, gobsmacked, purely shocked. Oh the scent that embraced my nostrils. The disbelief couldn't believe itself. 'I actually LIKE this one?' The truth is, when being layered with something else, it does become tolerative, but just by itself, it is a disaster. I sprayed it again today, and while it isn't as bad as it was 2 days ago, I feel the magic is slowly dying (after being resurrected) within it. Maybe this was a one-time-only thing, but I'll remember this bottle as the mist that gave me a dream amidst of all the nightmares.

This to me smells like an expensive perfume, like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with almond notes but to me I get the powdery nuttyness from the almond with a slightly sweet berry and beautiful woody and coffee dry down (not a prominent coffee scent). I don’t know why people don’t talk about this enough because it’s one of the more sophisticated gourmand scents I’ve ever smelled.

This is a deep almondy scent. That’s it to me, I wish I picked up on espresso or blackberry. I’ve been doing berry coffee combos for a little while now, i thought this would be perfect. It’s just okay to me, unfortunately since I don’t live near a VS I’m going to be keeping this one and hopefully layering it / enjoying it during next fall

I tend to buy fragrance mists for the purposes of layering to give my perfumes a little twist. This one I layer with Lattafas Khamarah Qahwa and also sometimes with YSL Black Opium. It also tones down those candy sweet perfumes. I never wear it on it's own.

I like this one a lot, for a body spray it performs very well. Unfortunately my husband told me it smelled like a vanilla protein shake so now that’s all i can think of every time i use it. Good thing i like protein shakes!

okay well as you can tell this isn't really a safe blind-buy and i wouldn't recommend it as a blind-buy because it's not for everyone but it does last. personally i like it but it's too specific for everyone's liking.

Hi, I just want to let everyone know that I do NOT like this body mist anymore... Full review in the works.

genuinely mingin i hope my bottle fixes itself before i throw the juice out my house

god this disgrace still be stinking

def not for everyone, def for me.

I can feel the cat piss scent ppl talk about towards the end to be honest I wouldn't recommend

I had so high expectations from this one, but it gives off a strong and lasting urine smell. My husband smelled it and asked me to throw it away. Thinking it might be my skin not blending well with the mist, I sprayed it on him, it was the same urine smell. Now I keep it in my collection to gift it to someone I terribly dislike but still have formal connections with. Unfortunately, there is no one I dislike that much, so it stays in my drawer, waiting for a planned passive aggressiveness.

so glad i didn't blind buy this bc holy shit this is bad. i definitely get an almondy/nutty quality but combined with the bitter espresso and tart blackberry, it just smells musty. the almond is savory in a way that's just nasty. if u like the scent and it agrees with your nose, this projects and lasts like hell, but i legitimately find this disgusting and i don't think i've ever found a perfume so actively foul.

I usually love coffee notes so I thought I was gonna like this but this is awful, not only the combination of coffee and blackberry is off putting in the opening. The dry down literally smells like the musty wardrobe of an old person. It reminds me of the smell of my great grandmother. Holy shit who approved this??

Nope nope nope.. Name sounds very interesting and right up my alley but all I get is musty cat pee. I’m sorry

sometimes it smells good, sometimes it smells like unwashed musty flesh...

I tried this yesterday, and luckily I didn’t get cat piss! However I think it smells a little too similar to cheirosa 71 for a solid hour, you get that nutty creamy deliciousness. After an hour, you get the blackberry finally, but no coffee. Since I have 71, I will not be purchasing this. But I’d say if you think 71 was too loud and too sweet, check it out bc it’s like a subtle version of that for an hour, and you get a blackberry twist after.

I picked this up on sale, and honestly, it's giving me mixed feelings. 😵💫 On one hand, I kind of like the cozy coffee latte ☕ note, but when the santal kicks in, it’s like sandalwood and coconut 🥥 decided to mix with this lactonic, milky vibe—and on me, it’s bordering on a spoiled milk scent. 😬 It’s such a strange combination, and I can’t tell if I’m into it or if I want to gag a little. It’s definitely unique, but also... kinda nauseating? 😅

My bf bought this for me as a surprise gift because in our town there isn't a victoria's secret store yet. And... It honestly surprised me for good. Probably one of the most complex and classy body mist I've ever had. The four notes come from very different scent accords yet they combine so well together. Not overly sweet but a very interesting and unique scent. More mature and dark than the rest of vs body mists. (well done bf)
