Berdoues Monoi & Coco

I just left a review and it’s not on display yet, but since this fragrance was on my mind I thought I’d give it another chance before donating it. Many reviewers suggest allowing a fragrance to sit a while and macerate, which will give the ingredients time to settle and meld. I will say it definitely works - this one was pretty gross when I first tried it a few weeks ago but it’s developing into a lovely tropical white floral with an undercurrent of coconut. It’s a bit much upon initial spritz, and is still a bit cloying on the skin, but then it softens and projects really nicely. This is a gardenia bomb, and is quite sweet, so one must appreciate such qualities in a scent in order to enjoy this. It’s also a bit synthetic, but not unpleasantly so at this point (more time to age will likely improve it further). Overall, a good purchase and I’m very glad I gave it another chance.

I blind bought this one based on its advertised notes. What a disappointment. There are no discernible notes or nuances here. Just a straight up sugar bomb with some cheap hair oil and Coppertone thrown into the mix. Good thing it was cheap!
