I was very lucky to nab this in the December beauty vault (thank you so much BR) and it very quickly pushed my favourites to the back of the collection. I love this scent and it has become my favourite summer scent. Most of my perfumes are very sweet and strong that seemed to have been somewhat intensified with the warmer weather. When the courier bag arrived I could barely contain my excitement. i opened up the box and was greeted by the most unusually funky bottle, think of a chain and how they interlock, and being this design makes it really easy to hold. The bottom “loop” if you will fits perfectly in the palm of your hand this is also where the perfume is and on the top “loop” is where the perfume sprays out after you gently press the top of the “loop”
I spray 2 sprays on my neck and in a second I feel summery and fresh the first note I am noticing is the sharp pomegranate and bergamot, it is fruity and citrusy and not overly sweet. As it settles I notice more of the bergamot and a floral that I can’t put my finger on and then finally a cedar wood peppery note that ties everything in beautifully. It is a really well balanced perfume where everything works in harmony together. I was surprised at how long this lasts for an EDT it lasts a good 6-7 hours on me before I need a top up, definitely worth it and I even think I will repurchase it once I have run out.
The perfume is heady but without being overpowering. I love the bergamot fragrance, and I find the smell to be both familiar and new at the same time, I really like this fragrance, its perfect for summer, and makes me feel happy when I wear it, the water lily element brightens it up and makes it lighter. It's definitely on my re purchase list, in fact I don't want to run out of it!! I would love to get a shower gel or body cream to layer this, its just what I have been looking for. Understated elegance at it's best.
