WHAT I SMELL: Eternal Rainbow opens with a brush of color with soft florals highlighted by a light rose tinged with blackberries that is soon met with a juicy grapefruit and warm citrus. While that sounds like there is a lot going on, the perfume blends like a breeze. And the opening is so wonderfully pretty and inviting with a wonderful depth and warmth that carries you in. There’s a cottony lightness that bounces upon the fruit which seems to buzz with brightened energy without bursting forward as it tames its enthusiasm. As Eternal Rainbow begins to settle, the florals remain, but the berries seem to dissipate as the grapefruit holds it own along with just a touch of herbs. Here, the perfume resides in it’s own universe…not on the ground and not to the sky as if it shimmers in citrus and floral pink hued sweetness that lives in the background in the most beautiful of way. The perfumes remains in this realm for quite some time before it retreats into a quiet vetiver topped with a light cottony musk.

WHAT I SMELL: Rival in Love opens with a lightly sweetened blood orange that’s quickly met with a juicy, ripe and enticing lychee. It’s so incredibly intoxicating in the softest of ways as there’s nothing sharp here as the perfume just lilts upon the skin with a light and soft sheath of cottony musk. After a bit, the sweetened and soft opening moves to the more round with a lightly peppered rose making it’s entrance. Where the opening was light and demure, the perfume is now more mature and seductive. Here, the perfume begins to radiate and amplify, but never in a way that shouts. As Rival in Love continues its progression, a patchouli enters grounding the florals with a buzzing woodiness. Here, the perfume seems to be in conflict as you can tell that the patchouli is being buffered by something else that is trying to get out on top of it. As the perfume finishes its internal fight, a sweetened vanilla and lychee come out to make the perfume the perfect mix of innocence and seductive maturity. Rival in Love is one “love” of a perfume.
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: A fight for love that ends in the most beautiful of ways.
