MeiLin, I love perfoom! You really should promote it more, it's fantastic.

I was really looking forward to this one, the description made it sound quite yummy and fresh, but I was a bit disappointed. In the bottle and on the skin I was hit with a fantastic blast of gardenia and frangipani. It toned down pretty quickly to a more subtle generic floral and sweet .... something I couldn't quite put my finger on. As I went back for another sniff about 20 minutes later I couldn't find it. Anywhere. I gave my wrist to someone else to sniff, to make sure I hadn't become so used to it that I couldn't smell it, but they couldn't detect anything either. So, NO lasting power on my skin, which is disappointing. I will try it in a scent locket though to see if it's just my skin that kills it, so I can't give it a thumbs down - I'll stick with a neutral, could take it or leave it sort of opinion.

Wow. That's my first reaction. I'm not getting ANY banana, my first reaction was bubblegum and butter popcorn. A few people around me said they smelt a sweet vanilla, but after a few minutes on the skin it's settling into a dirty scent, and NOW the banana comes out. Hmm. Curious. Definetly gets a lot of love from me though.
