Cactush

I don't have much experience with identifying particular notes, so had never learned before of the jasmine/cat-pee connection. However, when I opened this bottle that was the only thing I smelled, and that carried over to the wet on skin and dry-down phase. At best, if I sniffed deeply, I got a bit of cat-pee-on-a-peach. I googled a bit and then learned that jasmine (on my skin) must be the culprit. A shame, since the description was right up my alley! Luckily the other peach-forward blend I ordered was perfect. I will be trying to find this one a new and loving home.

Was very lucky to get the last of these bottles as they went fast! Wet it’s a powdery fruit scent, with grape and cranberry and maybe wet SweeTarts? As soon as it dries slightly the spices waft in along with what reminds me of other scents I’ve had labelled “violet”. It’s not totally dissimilar to the LE “Et Lux Fuit”. Unfortunately it does dry out to that stale endpoint most perfume oils reach on my skin (with some precious few exceptions) but I would be happy to reapply or mist in my hair to keep the lovely fresh stage longer.
