Cynthia Rowley (2005)
by Cynthia Rowley

This scent goes on with a blast of fresh-cut green something but settles into a watery lemon that both disappoints and doesn't last more than a few hours. If you're crazy for citrus you might want to give it a try but "So Pink" from the Gap is a much better buy.

This is a nice, pleasant Floral - Fruity. Fruity / floral is usually the last thing I would call “nice or pleasant” ...I don’t like the genre, but this one is okay because it is relatively subtle and because the florals take precedence – as a matter of fact, I’m not sure that I smell any fruit notes in the mix – they are only sort of hinted at. What I do smell is the bergamot and, I think, honeysuckle in the opening. I later get a definite lily of the valley and heliotrope: All very nice, all somewhat subtle, all having a decent sillage and good longevity. The drydown is a typical white musk and amber, and that, too, is relatively subtle. Cynthia Rowley is a very nice fragrance and I don’t determine anything special.
