I sprayed this on my wrist, and my olfactory system was blinded by the bright silk tree (mimosa) blossoms. Blinded in a good way though!
It’s like being overwhelmed because something is unexpectedly delightful, but not being prepared for it.
The name fits the fragrance well, but it's less of a delirious nightmare and more like Tinkerbell just punched me in the face with a bouquet of mimosa blossoms and I’m weirdly into it.
The opening is a bright-as-hell floral note, that’s radiant and joyful. But here's the thing: I dislike most white and yellow florals. I (almost) hate them. So I was shocked that I didn't immediately scrunch my nose in disgust. Instead, I was kind of ENCHANTED 🤩 The mimosa is carrying this entire performance and she deserves a standing ovation. 👸
Unfortunately I don’t get much of the raspberry note.😕 If it's in there, it's hiding in the back, whispering shyly to a soft musk molecule. The dry-down is where the vanilla and cream (like a fancy cupcake) are introduced. Then, there’s a tiny ghost of raspberry that's too shy to introduce itself. Maybe it shows up much later, but honestly? I don't even care. This is gorgeous.
TLDR: It’s an aggressively pretty floral with vanilla cream and shy-guy raspberry notes. Wear it to a wedding but not the office! 🥰
