Azalea

“This is for the sexy granny that goes on cruises and still goes out for bottomless mimosas with her girlfriends. It's soft and feminine but, still bold and alluring. It's a woody floral that's more woody than floral, not too sweet and the myrrh in the base gives it a slight resinous feel in the dry down. This is absolutely not a safe blind buy nor is it appropriate for the office but, definitely worth sampling.”

“To my nose it doesn’t smell like black orchid but Initio definitely yezzzz. I don’t know what notes give that suffocated smell. Probably chemical santal but I get musk and floral in this fragrance. Unfortunately unpleasant perfume. Very loud composition with long sillage. Couldn’t washed it off. Please don’t buy blindly how I did🙄.”

“I love every note in this: almond, vanilla, sandalwood, ylang-ylang... But somehow mixing them all together just did not work. The opening is creamy but in a vintage way, giving grandma vibes. It might've been the milky sandalwood + ylang ylang (can smell old sometimes). The opening is sweet, but it dries down to a dry myrrh note with a hint of suede undertone.WARNING: This is by no means blind-buy-friendly!”
