Mora Bella by Comptoir Sud Pacifique, 2005

This fruit melange from Sud Pacifique certainly has some interesting phases, but as a whole I find it a little indistinctive. Its dense wall of berry sweetness is an interesting premise, but certainly not one that will hold your rapt attention for more than an hour or so. I would have liked Mora Bella to develop and evolve instead of grating on me so quickly

First I must say that it is quite enjoyable to test a Comptior Sud Pacifique scent that doesnt have vanilla in it. Next, this is an enjoyable fragrance: it is fruity and citrusy and berry-y with a nice support from some simpatico flowers, especially jasmine and four oclock. Is Mora Bella synthetic? Of course it is its CSP. But its light and playful and delightfully feminine. The dry down doesnt come across very well for me, but I didnt expect it to.
