MIX:BAR Perfume for Women - Whipped Almond Fragrance - Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.7oz

By the description of this fragrance I assumed it would smell like almonds, like a sweet gourmand perfume. I absolutely love gourmand fragrances, and it's almost all I exclusively wear. This...this did not in any capacity smell remotely like a food, much less a dessert item. It smells like my grandmother's ancient perfume collection to me personally. My allergies were acting up pretty badly this morning, so I thought my first impression out of the bottle was wrong...so I sprayed 2 sprays on top of my warm vanilla base layer. As SOON as I walked into my job my employees started crinkling their noses and I was IMMEDIATELY told that I smelled like an old lady. Horrified, I went to the bathroom to wash my neck and wrists (obviously where I sprayed the perfume)... To no avail I reeked of old lady all day. As my allergy medicine kicked it's weirdly floral scent became more and more apparent to me as the day wore on. It's been 9 hours and I can still smell it wafting up from my shirt collar. OH IT'S LONG LASTING. DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT. I just wish it was a scent that I truly enjoyed. I'm going to have to immediately take a shower when I get home because I don't want this smell infecting my sheets. Very disappointed. STALE FLOWERS! Yes, that is exactly the scent impression I got. It may be that it reacted poorly with my skin Ph, many fragrances (and even some foundations) tend to smell skunky on me. So this may very well be a case where it smells lovely on others. I tend to blind buy Scents basing my choices off of product descriptions and overall reviews, as I live in a rural area and simply don't have access to most of these products to try before I buy. Except for a couple of products, I've been pretty successful in making choices that I enjoy and will happily use until they're gone. This is a one-off, but please don't base your purchase choice of this perfume based solely upon my negative experience, it could very well be just a negative reaction with my skin chemistry. I haven't read any other reviews that stated the same specific complaints that I had.

Really nice just need to last long

It smells great, I love vanilla scents so this is perfect!

Great scent but doesn’t last

Long last, very pleasant smell, lots of compliments!
