Jala by Lea St Barth

I'm sampling the edp of Jala, and it's potent. (I understand there is an edt version, which could be more my taste.) At any rate, frangipane is definitely in this blend, and it is very loud! I much prefer a softer take on that note. This Jala gives me a feeling like something is stuck in the back of my throat. Plasticky. Sorry, I don't like this one at all.

Right out of the bottle it smelled like grapeseeds (??!!) then like a strong gust of freesia. Settled into a warm sort of gardenia and wafted up like Bermuda breezes for the rest of the day. LOVE this for summer!
