As terrifying as candied fruits may sound, they are merely present to add another confectionary dimension to this cozy comfort scent.

But above all, non mentioned in the notes, I smell gooseberries and cloudberries: the Nordic yellow raspberries. Recently I went through all my perfumes and picked out ones I wouldn't repurchase for one reason or another.I'm used to Escada's being just straight up fruity with maybe a bit of ozonic quality, maybe something fresh or floral, but nothing TOO crazy. I wish I could find an older formulation to compare the differences but I'm very satisfied with my 2020 batch. It's an interesting combo and it's really fun to finally experience this, since it's a cult classic for many people. This has more than 20 fragrance notes, most of them being fruity and sweet, so I looked past the aromatic, herbal notes and accords, and purchased anyway per the recommendation.

I wear this perfume in November when it's due to snow soon and the leaves crunch underfoot, and the smell of blackcurrent, which is the last fruit of summer, is smeared between my lips as my lover spoons a pavlova made of custard and caramel with berry toppings into my mouth. Unfortunately, at several points in each wearing, there is a dispute between them, with a smell of [basil + pineapple + black currant + praline + red berries].It's not bad at all - it's just that I don't like the opening, it quite greeny, but in 10 minutes it becomes softer and sweet on the fruity side. ALL I smell is a sharp grassy smell that honestly kind of burns the nostrils, and underneath maybe a hint of some kind of unpleasant citrus. To look at the notes is to go into shock over the sugary overload of caramel, vanilla, and random fruits, not to mention the mishmash of greens and flowers. But if you are willing to spray it more like a body spray, the projection and longevity is actually not bad. I wore it to my office job today and I didn't get any compliments or anything, yet again it's rainy and muddy.

But within two-five minutes that was long gone and it had become something I would actually want to smell like versus something I'd want my bathroom to smell like. Then on my skin I got some sweet caramel and patchouli with a hint of a vanilla and I do get some sandalwood in this. Fast forward to this year and I couldn't help but want to retry it in hopes that I would get a better formulation.In rare cases, the packaging may be updated by the brand without warning, or the language might differ from the one you see presented.
