Cocktail
B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful (2004)

This cocktail for sure has a (few) maraschino cherry(ies) on top. The opening is full on Ylang ylang with a bit of clear jasmine mixed up, and may be prunes with alcohol as a top note, without forgetting the usual candy lemon from Lush.

Great and original, as often for this house.

This one is very hard to describe. What jumped out at me is the opening of this is very strong so let it air out a bit before you take a whiff. Once it's settled on the skin it's still a hard one to figure out where they are going with it. It's a floral, slightly fruity, antiseptic smell. Could resemble a type of cocktail and one that would be served on ladies night.

This is quite outside my usual experience, so I struggle to understand and describe it. But I like it!
Very briefly it starts with a sweet floral chord. This almost immediately changes into a very interesting "bright" note. It is heady, piercing, powerful. Some have spoken of lavender, others mention ylang absolute. Antiseptic and aldehydes have also been mentioned and I agree with all of those. It is a very bright and even slightly aggressive scent. Rubber gloves? Hospital corridors? I find all of this quirky and interesting. At times I get a cool-minty note.
Would I wear it? Probably not, or at least rarely. But I can appreciate it.

Odd; this just smelled fruity to me, although there aren't any fruit notes listed. lt's quite a feel-good fragrance, just not my thing.

Yup, I smelt make-up and powder and saw an old fashioned dressing table. I liked this scent, it was pretty, warm and friendly (not like the ladies in Mad Men at all, then) but I never felt I had the right clothes to go with it. Definitely not for jeans-wearers.

Notes mentioned in the B Blurb - Ylang absolute , calanga petals, Mediterranean jasmine, rose absolute, orange flowers, oak moss, sandalwood.Heavy on the ylang there is a definite spike lavender tang in there somewhere, jasmine, this fragrance has a mysterious understated quality to it, kinda like a fighter jet, by the time you are caught in the sillage, the wearer is long gone. Something just a little bit antiseptic, though Not in a bad way though, maybe the alcohol content is high? Between the ylang and sexy oak moss it shimmies in a tight dress whispering "come up and see me sometime" on the skin. The sillage is excellent, longevity excellent. It is a grown up girl's perfume to be sure
