Badgley Mischka Parfum
Badgley Mischka (2018)

A white floral opening blast greets me that is suprisingly bright and fresh, courtesy of an infusion of neroli that brightens up the florals.

The drydown turns into a floral fest, with jasmine ruling strongly. It is a fine jasmine, with a green undertone and quite elegant. A sideline of peonies, muguet and a very light tuberose - no raisinous or waxy components here - cements the floral power in the heart notes.

There is a sweetness and creaminess to it that adds an agreeable smoothness to this blend.

The base changes character nigh completely, and the final phase is a woodsy affair intermingled with white musks.

I get moderate sillage, very good projection and six hours of longevity on my skin.

This scent for cooler spring days is executed very well, with good-quality ingredients in the first part of its development. The base falls of in quality, and is more generic in character. Still, overall a good scent with some interesting features. 3.25/5.
