Effervescence

[Dolly]

Now this is FRESH! Light, fresh, and bubbly. I can almost feel the bubbles tickling my nose. Not quite fruity, not quite floral.....a little of each, I guess. This woud be a fun anytime scent, when you don't want to be over-perfumed, but just want to smell clean and pretty. I like this!

Ah, this is one of the few new samples I ordered. I'm excited to get this one in my grubby little fingers. You can't go wrong with the bubbly!!

Linden and Apple are both ingredients for immortality and preservation of youthful beauty, while Guava is a fruit of Venus and for the preservation of fertility; and it is also said to invoke images and fantasy. The combination of these ingredients is fabled to work like a rejuvenation potion, to invoke a youthful guise.

 

 

• GUAVA ~ Encourages romantic notions and fantasy. Fertility, love.
  
  
• LINDEN BLOSSOM ~ Strong protective force, attracts love, immortality, luck, restful properties.
  
• APPLE ~ Love, healing, fertility, good luck , happiness, immortality, fortelling spells.
  
• PASSION FRUIT ~ Friendship, love.
  
  
• COTTON / LINEN ~ Luck, healing, protection; return of lost love.
  
• SPICES ~ Amplification of enjoyment and increase of physical sensitivities.
  

 

In the bottle: This is bright and juicy, with a hint of something like pine backing up the fresh fruitiness.

 

On wet: Kapow! The blend of the flowers with the fruit makes this into a tangy, sweet, white fruit, like white grapes ought to taste but don't. The pine is somewhere in the background, giving this a refreshing zing.

 

Drydown: The pine note (or whatever is making it smell like pine to me) comes forward, and this is almost exactly how I was imagining a slightly floral, extra feminine Retsina scent.

 

Eventually the pine wins on me, and the end of this scent is like a dry, aged pinesol, but the first several hours of it, with the bubbly fruit, are fun.

 

I have to remember not to wear this one to work, it made me feel and act ditzy, which was sadly counterproductive.

Sadly, it didn't work out for me. But I thought it was cool that it smelled exactly like Smarties candy with lots of grapefruit on top. It seems to be a teenager type of scent.

Wet: sparkly! I can smell the guava and passion fruit with a little floral. Drydown: Still sparkly… I love the exotic fruits. They are still there in this stage. The spices are perfect, they are not "spicy" but complement the exotic fruit perfectly.

I got this sample today as a monthly freebie request (thanks girls)and it is awesome. Definitely effervescent and clean without being too clean if you know what I mean. The fruits are also not too acidic or overpowering. Refreshing and fun

I get champagne bubbly and dry. Then there is a subtle almost peachy flavor to it. Thepeachy comes out more on the dry down. This is a nice light party scent I like the dry down

This smells like high-end ginger ale on me, which is not surprising. It's actually not as metallic on my skin as it is in the vial, thankfully. I don't know if it's really me, but it's interesting...very crisp and clean.

I scored a sale bottle & I have to say it does have a nice champagne evocation. TT smelled it & actually responded that it smells good, instead of the usual 'I've smelled that before' response. Definitely need to get @ leats one more bottle before it disappears forever.

BRIGHT FIZZY champagne!!! This has an unique + unforgettable scent and has long staying power!! I can imagine my bubbly friend wearing it :)

I've just received this one from a trade. It's exactly how I imagined: sparkling like a glass of champagne! It reminds me a bit of Elan Vitale. It will be great with Cougar or Popularity Potion.
