Nostalgia and Familiarity
This scent smells so familiar. It's mostly lilac with an undertone of gooseberry. But even the gooseberry part is familiar to me. It kind of smells something one of my grandma's friends wore, or maybe my great aunt. The lilac is bold, but not too strong. I wonder if this was a popular scent a long long time ago.<br /><br />On my pulse points, the gooseberry initially fades, and it eventually only smells like lilac for a while. It's really weird because my body chemistry often takes the sweetness and the florals out first and leaves the undertones. The gooseberry scent isn't that sweet, so that was kind of strange that I couldn't smell it anymore for about 15 minutes. (It does come back out a little later - these two smells balance each other well.) Tiny bottle, but I have a feeling it'll last a while.
