Natural Floral
by Pecksniff's

I get a bit of ylang-ylang but not much else. Boring.

5th September, 2008.

I get more green / citrus than floral, of course, I’ll admit that my skin often devours floral notes rather than letting them float away. The green accord that I get would be much improved if there were more of a floral feeling to give it more depth and interest. Alone, it’s rather boring and linear. After an hour, I get an identifiable gardenia note and possibly a geranium note, but they don’t seem to have much tenacity. I have a difficult time believing the extensive list of various notes that is listed in the pyramid because, neither on paper nor on my skin, do I get anything but a nice, unexciting green that is touched with citrus and haunted by a couple of transitory floral ghosts. As usual with Pecksniff’s (this is the eleventh Pecksniff fragrance I’ve reviewed), the base has little potency or longevity on my skin.

Natural Floral leaves me a bit confused: I certainly wouldn’t argue with the “natural” part of the name, although I don’t know if it is “natural”; but I don’t get the strong florals that are suggested… my least favorite Pecksniff’s fragrance…
