Sake
by Fresh

Nice glutinous rice scent that does hint at the fermented beverage for which it is named. The citrus-ginger in the top note snaps refreshingly until it fades into a musky peachy scent that lingers for hours. I did enjoy it, but it is a little too femme for me, so I will gift it to my daughter at Christmas. I think it will compliment her Guerlain Pamplelune quit nicely.

I tried both the foaming bath and the EdP. It's quite lovely and fresh! The peach really comes through for me, and it is sweet but not overly so. Somehow it reminds me of light Burberry Woman (original), probably due to the peach. If you like peaches, Tresor, Burberry or John Varvatos, this is a must try.

I am close to putting this on my want list. However, I want to sample this again before coming to a final decision. ;)

UPDATE: Well, I tried again ... and I also tried L Lamb by Gwen Stephani. L Lamb is quite similar to Sake, very much like the brand Fresh. White L is more complex, maybe even better done, it seems a bit synthetic. On the other hand, Fresh Sake doesn't disappoint and ingredients seem better compared to L Lamb. This was close to a toss-up for me, but purchased Fresh Sake and am happy that I did. Had I purchased L, I probably would have regretted it.

I really cannot decide about it. It is supposed to have Langsat Fruit, Grapefruit, Ginger, White Peach Absolute, Lotus Flower, Lily of the Valley, Osmanthus, Vanilla, Musk notes in. the very first notes are someking of cheap and bublegum style berries and peach. But then it gets a bit warmer and smoother. The ginger note is sheer but loud, with grapefuit makes a menthol like aroma. though i have not enjoyed it much i apreciate the unique and playful nature of it.

One of my favorite Fresh scents. AND one of my favorite "fresh" scents!. Sake is sparkling, boozy, a little sweet, light hearted and celebratory. There's quite a bit of fruit in the opening and heart and I definitely get grapefruit right away, as well as a hint of berry. Best of all, there is a champagne thread that makes this scent stand out. No kidding, Sake smells "bubbly!" Just great. I'm, a noob, so this may not mean too much, but I haven't smelled anything like it. Yet

Strong, masculine, chemical citrus. Reminds me of a strongly scented antiperspirant when it starts to heat up and gets pushed to its limits trying to contain the B.O. It was given to me by someone who couldn't stand it. You can't wash it off and it never wears off. This is probably one of the worst scents I've ever tested.
