So I hate this fragrance & wanted to wash it off after about an hour.
I’d only put it on my wrists & dabbed my inner forearms so I washed my hands up up to my elbows w soap & warm water but a few minutes later, I could still smell it over the soap I’d just used! Annoyed, this time I found makeup wipes in my purse & Wiped my inner arms down with these, which are industrial enough to clean Tammy Faye Bakers face. However, the smell of witch hazel faded & i was amused yet startled to find that Tuberose Vanille was still haunting not only my nostrils but my whole cubicle. So I raided the office first aid kit & Wiped down my arms with Alcohol disinfectant wipes, hoping that the pure rubbing ether alcohol would overpower the tuberose vanilla alcohol. Hauntingly, not only did the scent remain, but the fragrance molecules seemed to join in unity with the ether molecules & become more pungent with an increased spreading ability. Since I had no diesel fuel or moonshine to pour upon myself, I returned to whence I began. The bathroom sink. This time, I lathered up to my up to my elbows with an exfoliating! soap & HOT water, in the same manner as would a surgeon preparing for a 17hr pediatric heart transplant.
a sense of surreality was beginning to take hold. I cautiously proceeded to the office break room since I had no gas mask or hazmat suit available to wear in my tuberose vanilla witch hazel alcohol soaked cubicle. as I ate, I slowly came to realization that the break room only smelled of leftover ground turkey & stale donuts!! can’t you imagine my relief that I was no longer announcing or carrying the fragrance however if I put my wrists up to my nose & directly sniffed, I could still smell it in all its tuberosy milly vanilly glory on my skin. So here I find myself now - 9 HOURS later & at home from the office & the not-at-all-subtle dry down smells exactly the same as the opening fragrance.
After this experience, it’s my belief that if one happens to be wearing this fragrance during a catastrophic extinction event, hundreds of years from now when future archaeologists unearth those fossilized remains, all they’ll smell is Tuberose vanilla.
One squirt of this on an infant baby will ensure that she smells like Tuberose Vanilla for the entire span of her natural life. She’ll never have to buy or spray another perfume on herself again bc this fragrance will last the whole 87yrs she’s alive!! And then when she dies of old age & goes to Glory, the formaldehyde will have no scenting effect on her embalmed remains because TUBEROSE VANILLE!! & she shall arrive at those Pearly Gates AFTER this fragrance does & StPeter & all the souls in Heaven will get a heavy whiff of Tuberose Vanilla & it shall be Tuberose Vanille that fragrances Heaven from that point forward & it shall be Tuberose Vanille that carries on with them all straight thru Eternity CAN I GET AN AMEN
Or maybe you’re a zoo vet, who has to put your forearm up the butts of unfortunate rhinos & elephants occasionally! in the odd event that you one day find yourself with no access to water or soap, this will fragrance will definitely overpower the fumes of the dung & organic elements that remain on your arm after those procedures & likely disinfect it too.
Porta-Potty cleaners or other professional cleaners that work in biohazardous environments like crime scenes, hoarder homes, body farms, garbage dumps would find this perfume handy. 1 drop of this under the nostrils & you’d never smell decomposing bodies, human excrement, rotten garbage or basically any other smell again except Tuberose Vannilla.
So there are definitely reasons to buy it, which is why I gave it 2 stars.
Unfortunately, I found it to be stinking which is also why I only gave it 2 stars. I get no tuberose or vanilla from this - just a really really sweet floral. I think the sandalwood may be the quaff of spice I’m getting but whatever it is, I hated the combo of notes.
It goes without saying that it would be my luck to spray myself with dozens of lovely & enjoyable perfumes purchased from this same site, only to sadly discover the silage of said perfumes is lacking or sometimes non-existent. And then one day, spray upon myself this noxious stink & realize that I’ve finally made the once in a lifetime discovery of a perfume that is PERMANENT!!
