From Wonderlust, I get a terrific blast of florals in the opening that refuses to quiet down with time. I am a lover of almond fragrances, and sadly, I don't see this as almond forward like others seem to. It is heavy with jasmine and soft with heliotrope, like someone has just given me a delightful bouquet. Or, perhaps, I've been handed the bouquet from my butler while I'm feasting on a delicious almond treat - I am too enchanted with the bouquet and the pleasant scent it gives me to focus at all on the dessert I've long left on the table.
I would say that this perfume isn't gourmand. It doesn't ring sweet like other almond scents do to me, it rings beautiful. I could imagine this at a wedding. I could even imagine this at a funeral. It is classy, beautiful, perhaps even mournful in the right context, but gracious and happy in others. I do not dislike it one bit!
The longevity is okay. It's not fleeting, but it doesn't stay with me all day like a clingy lover or an anxious dog. It projects well, and amongst knitters and scrapbookers, this has been a big hit! Compliments galore. It is a favorable scent with mass appeal, at least, so long as you are not in a room full of people who dislike floral scents.
Sprayed some on my arm today because, sniffing it from the bottle, I quite liked it. But. oh no. after a few minutes it was all I don't like in a perfume. Way too much of everything and cloyingly sweet. All I dislike in most modern scents ugh! I kept smelling it while I had to do some more shopping and it really annoyed me and gave me a headache. Once I got home, I couldn't wait to wash it off, which wasn't easy I can assure you. So longevity is impressive, in this case too imressive..
I really can't analyse the notes in this, I didn't get something fresh like mandarine, maybe the almondmilk notes don't match quite well with mandarin, I actually can imagine those two can easily clash. Heliotrope often doesn't perform well on my skin, so this may also be the problem.
I also find nothing authentic in this scent, it even briefly reminded me of Maroussia which I detest.
