It’s very very fruity and seems more fruity fresh than fruity sweet, if anyone else knows what I mean by that lol I always say that you should wear your fragrances whenever you want to wear them and not by what the notes “dictate” and in most cases you can get away with that, and this is certainly one of those cases. I sprayed it again to see if maybe was my cycle as someone suggested and it smelled fruty and juicy.

This scent has been a rollercoaster for me - so if you can try it more than once and give yourself time to decide, it might end up on your shelf!If the idea of a sweet, fruity, and refreshingly clean perfume intrigues you, let me introduce you to 3 L'IMPERATRICE. As for the boozy note, I will say that has come up on me on particularly hot days once it settles, but I don't really mind it. L'imperatrice is the survivor of the collection The Anthology based on tarot cards, a collection that was completely shipwrecked, the old one with the number three on the label is one of my favorite perfumes based on red fruits, mainly watermelon, accentuated by the juiciest and reddest part of rhubarb and with a point of fruity acidity from the kiwi that mixed with the aforementioned notes also reminds me many times of a very red and ripe guava, all this on a musky background with aquatic chords.

The opening is really strong and sharp, like an underripe kiwi but with a kick that I'm not familiar with. Great one to tone down scents that are too green or too tart, or just to use as an added kick to save some sprays from your more expensive perfumes. This is in the same soprano register with perfumes like Perry Ellis 360 (the original), Michael Kors Sexy Blossom, Burberry Body EDP.I still have the magazine rip-out of an article announcing the tarot collection's release date from allure. But what keeps me coming back is the combo of those sweet notes combined with the dustiness of the woods.
