Sweet sunshine with annoying last phase
When I recently bought a bunch of vintage miniatures, a half-full bottle of this Floris perfume came with them. I do not normally wear fresh citrusy scents, I do not even know that many and I cannot compare them to each other and say this reminds me of... or this is better than... . So I had a fairly open mind when I tried this on.
I enjoy the opening. Sweet, floral notes from orange blossom, green tea and a gentle touch of ginger and vanilla makes this a delightful choice for a warm summer's day, when you don't want to make a big statement, but just want to feel good. The scent is happy, carefree, sunny and fresh, feels like a trip to the sea.
Unfortunately, the last phase does not agree with me. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it seems to melt down to a base of synthetic wood that feels very annoying. Could also be the ambrette, or a combination. I have tried it several times, but I always end up washing it off after maybe 3-4 hours. A shame, because I really like the opening and could see myself wearing it in the summer. Maybe it will perform differently in warmer weather (it's still quite cold in Norway in May), but I have my doubts...
