Not quite a wallflower
I mostly knew the brand from their classical rose- and lavender scented body care products and was all the more surprised by this fragrance - a seeming attempt to join the 'contemporary' majority in the perfume market which may be related to the change of ownership.
Royal English Daisy, as my bottle is named, starts with a sweet apple note and a mix of green leaves wrapped up in a rather tenacious and sweet musk. There should be an indistinctive floral note somewhere, but I can't name it.
On one hand, this fragrance does meet the name more of an imaginary concept - it has an innocent, carefree nature like memories of making daisy chains and might've better been named 'Country Maiden Daisy' (I reckon that the 'Royal' part was removed for a good reason). On the other hand, the sweetness is more of a persistent nature and enhances a distinct sharpness that could trigger headaches for those who are sensitive to this kind of musk.
Even though it is not a 'loud' fragrance, the need for a light or fresh scent might not be met with this Daisy - it is not as innocent nor inconspicuous as you would've expected.
Considering the price and the good longevity, it could well serve as a more affordable alternative to many designer fragrances from the same category of uncomplicated yet noticeable, sweet and clean fruity florals.
