I ordered this recently and it arrived today. I know, I know, you are supposed to let oils and fragrances 'rest' a few days in a cool, dark place after traveling during shipping before trying them out, because they say you often won't get a true first impression if you dont wait.
Butttt... Im impatient and once I saw the adorable bottle, with the cute metallic hot pink lid inside the really nice pink cylindrical packaging (like what Pink Sugar comes in, but smaller) I couldn't help myself.
I opened it up, sprayed myself on the front of my pajama top, forearms and decolletage, and WOW.
This stuff is a magical elixir from the gods, I swear to you!
I sprayed myself four times, 5 hours ago and it is STILL GOING. Its POTENT. The sillage and longevity are both nuclear as far as I can tell. (Now, I must admit, I was fresh out of the shower, with damp skin that I applied Jergens original cherry wnd almond lotion on first. Your mileage may vary, but for me, spraying this on moist, fragrant lotioned skin has done wonders for making my fragrances last longer)
I bought this because I saw a nice person in qn online forum somewhere sing its praises as "a dark, jammy fruity rose.". Well, that was music to my ears and I HAD to try it.
I am here to say that she was right on the money. That is exactly what this smells like to me. What more can ya ask for, from a lil spray that cost less than $4?
I wish it came in bigger sizes like Surrati.
As far as TL; DR
Great packaging, nuclear sillage and longevity. Sprayer works great and sprays a really a nice amount without being too wide or too narrow a spray. Great price.
I think this leans feminine, but I am a believer that any fragrance can be worn by any gender, regardless of notes or who the packaging says its for, so fellas that like rose and fruit and a good jammy, fruity, dark rose, give it a whirl!
I am excited to try the other Orientica scent options now!
