Late Afternoon in the Garden of Fake Plastic Flowers
Stephen Jones goes on aggressively floral/fresh, more fresh than floral, but not as aggressive as room freshener or toilet deoderizer, thank goodness. Rugby by Royall Lyme of Bermuda has the best violet that I've smelled thus far, and SJ just doesn't top it. It Here, the violet is tamed - it is aromatic, fresh, and slightly nauseating. If fake flowers had a smell, I imagine they would smell like this, towards the close of the day.
An hour in, the fresh/aggro/floral vibe fades and a oily, lush, musk begins to whisper. This is the onset of night, and I implore it to arrive. No long twilight, please! Two hours later, the musk is ascendent, but it's too late. This scent simply takes too long to get to the good part, like a movie that barely manages liftoff by thirty minutes in. Worse, it takes back its promises and reverts to the aggro/fresh direction by hour four and by that time, I was done. I had no desire to spend the night in the plastics garden. No doubt, this scent would have emitted its flowery synthetic aroma for the remainder of the night had I remained.
Recommended for enthusiasts of CDG. Their scents have never worked for me, and this marks my last experience with them.
