I tried it at a super famous store and at first it didn’t hook me; it was too floral for my taste. But back then, I was obsessed with coconut, so I went back to look for it. Now I see it differently, even if it’s not my top pick. You can really smell the gardenia, water lily, tiare flower, and that coconut. It’s floral, white, with a milky touch. Perfect for hot days, especially in spring.

It’s a light, white floral musky perfume. And watch out, I don’t detect any of that milky note in the trail, even though they say it’s moderate.

Well, it smells terrible.

I bought it blind and I’m still not sure. The opening is rich, but it didn’t evolve like I expected; they say it’s milky with coconut and vanilla, but I felt nothing. It stayed a sharp, very synthetic scent the whole time. I expected something else, but I’ll try it again when it’s hotter to see if it performs better on my skin in that climate.

Even though it’s a simple scent, it’s pleasant, not too sweet, and works well even in the heat. I absolutely love it; feeling that soft gardenia with the milky touch fascinates me. It’s a wearable smell; don’t expect elegance, it’s more youthful and playful.

I tried it at a department store and hated it. It’s fruity and floral, but I perceive it as very artificial, like plastic. I couldn’t stand the smell.
