My little green cactus
"And if a bad guy says something naughty, I'll get my cactus and it'll sting, sting, sting!"
In this spirit, I would like to present here one of my collection favorites and a in many respects well done fragrance on the basis of four points in ascending importance and especially in the matter of the much criticized durability also a little defend:
1. Naming:
Successful. A name that keeps what it promises. Welcome freshness, even on the hottest summer days. This also still by cactus as a raw material in the perfume. Bull's-eye.
2. Flacon:
Continuation of the name. Green Louis Vuitton standard. The simple beauty in the perfume collection - much like the cactus in the desert.
3. Fragrance:
An independent creation with well perceptible lemongrass, fresh bergamot and a little sweet rose geranium. A subtle hint of mate, the incense is barely perceptible. An overall refreshing, green fragrance with the typical Louis Vuitton linear scent progression.
The comparison drawn several times to the Wulong Cha is for me little comprehensible. Where the Wulong Cha is dominant, namely the teen note, the Cactus Garden is restrained. In addition, the Wulong Cha lacks the green notes.
4. Durability and Sillage:
As announced for me the main reason for writing this review. The durability is not objectionable on my skin for a fresh fragrance. After four hours, it becomes close to the body, where it remains perceptible for another 2-3 hours. Certainly not a "beast", but I can only encourage you to give the fragrance a chance on your own skin, as there seem to be major differences.
The price is also too high in my eyes with 225 euros. By the 140 euros for a 100 ml refill, it is for me from the second run at an acceptable price-performance ratio.
