White flower fantasy
Surprisingly, I love this ultra-feminine white floral perfume though I am not at all a lover of florals. This is Houbigant: able to capture an audience through its masterful blending of ingredients that could smell totally boring otherwise.
Another surprise is that, unlike what others are saying, this perfume stays and projects like crazy on me. Most perfumes, even those considered to have the heaviest sillage and lasting power, disappear on me. In fact, I suspect my nose does not smell very well because I constantly get compliments on different perfumes I am wearing while at the same time I smell nothing. Yes, it is probably olfactory fatigue but I think there is more to it.
Anyways, this perfume opens all airy and light with sweet orange blossoms and a hint of tuberose and settles into this same continuous scent without much change. Is there a bit of ylang ylang? Maybe. I don't get much of the base notes. I would love to smell more nutmeg and cedar. If there is any, I don't sense it.
Overall a very beautiful and easy to love perfume. The bottle and packaging are top notch, as always.
