Verdict

This year (2018) is the year of exploring scent and aroma for me. I’ve been going around and sniffing fragrance products and looked as if I was trying to eat them. Well, what I’m trying to say is, I’ve developed a standard for fragrance products that help me to decide which ones smell awful and which ones don’t, both in my own or other people’s perspectives.

The idea of this product, as well as the choice of ambassador/collaborator, is to give the user an enhancement in femininity through scents. This product has a very feminine packaging and it contains the smell of rose, sweet orange and peach. All of these but without the overbearingly strong and suffocating smell. A lot of products on the market are terribly suffocating with the strong scents and it tends to make passersby to hold their breath, which really isn’t the right kind of reaction that we want people to have.

The scent itself is light, smooth and elegant. It gives a gentle rosy aroma but it also has hints of fruitiness. It consists of Damask Rose Extract, Elder Flower Extract, Magnolia Liliflora Extract, Frangipani Extract, Tiger Lily Extract with Sweet Orange Oil.

The spray particles are surprisingly fine. It won’t give you an unexpected ambush of heavy-drop-attack, as if you aimed a tap spraying nozzle at your face. This product sprays gently onto your skin and covers quite a large area.

The duration of the spray doesn’t last as long as a perfume would but that’s actually better because it means it doesn’t have a lot of chemicals required to preserve the scent on the skin after long hours. Not to mention that this product doesn’t sting my skin like most perfumes would. I haven’t keep track of the duration but it should last at least 2 hours after spraying + going out shopping.

On the other hand, my boyfriend had a hard time differentiate the scent with my other perfumes. However, if you are good at differentiating scent like me, you’d notice that this actually smells lighter and more natural than most perfume. As mentioned above, it doesn’t suffocate your nose with an overbearing smell. So if you are smell-sensitive, then you will find this product easier to accept.

The weight and packaging of this product ease my mind for when I needed to carry it around. Unlike perfume bottles which are mostly glass, this product uses plastic packaging. Also, because it is plastic, the weight is immediately a whole lot lighter than a glass perfume bottle would weight. This makes travelling a lot easier because I don’t have to be very careful with unwanted misplacement or spillage due to broken bottles. My bag also wouldn’t have extra weight in it.

Overall, I am pretty happy with this product but will I repurchase? Perhaps not. It’s because I believe that it will last for a while and when it’s all used up, I still have a substitute (perfumes) available lying in my room. Honestly speaking, I can never finish my perfumes. However, I do recommend this product to people who are looking for an acceptable rosey yet fruity scent, especially for those who are pretty sensitive to fragrances.
