zankoku_zen Report post Posted December 10, 2012 Lavender, hint of fruit (plum, I think), and lotus... as I get the dreaded bubblegum note. I think there might be some cedarwood and potentially some myrrh in it, as it has a somewhat resinous grounding in the drydown. It's a little too sweet, a little too fruity. Interesting, but not for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akurarei Report post Posted March 31, 2024 SDPU2 Fresh on the Skin: I get Lavender and Plum or something similar, like Apricot maybe. Possibly some Peach. It definitely has a floral-fruit thing going on. Dried on the Skin: Lavender incense or Amber's glow. The fruit is mostly gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikaida Report post Posted April 10 (edited) This review mainly is a placeholder with quick notes from an early-morning 30-minute test on wrists and upper inner arm. Other reviews were read before testing and may have influenced review. I have had this bottle for at least half a year with multiple test attempts and much bewilderment, as this is outside my zone of confident perfume descriptions & notes identification! This does have the bracing-yet-sweet (but not-vanilla) TKO kinda vibe super early on, but then warmth blooms and something almost faintly….anise-like (but not??)…?? shows up? The bracing qualities die back and a softer sweetness is revealed. I can see why the other two reviews have mentioned a fruity sweetness, but I don’t know if I would’ve identified it as fruity on my own. I’m liking this on this warm spring morning—it’s reminding me of mornings in early summer as a kid, something about the first 30 minutes of wear feels fresh and cool, with gentle sunshine kisses of promised future warmth. Enjoyable! Definitely want to give this cutie a full day’s wear for deeper exploration in the future. edit: 45 minutes into wear a sweet amber has made its presence known! Pretty!
