Alfred sung perfume basenotes9/25/2023 ![]() ![]() And l have other tropicals that are much more "me". l found it a reasonably pleasant scent, but l just got bored with it. Top notes are Tangerine, Tagetes and Orchid middle notes are Lily, Pineapple, Peony, Freesia, Gardenia and Osmanthus base notes are Woody Notes, Amber and. That one's not terribly floral either.Įdit bottle now sold. Alfred Sung Encore is a fragrance for a woman who plays hardball.Encore is not playful.Warm, yet not too friendly. l'm still not getting the floral notes, either.Īs an aside, it reminds me of the Body Shop's lndian Gardenia rather a lot. ![]() l think it requires warmer temperatures to really make it bloom. ![]() l know, l know, lesson learned!Īnyway, a while later l noticed a pleasant waft of musky woods coming from somewhere, & realised it was me! l've revisited this perfume over the last couple of days, hoping to re-create this effect, but it just hasn't happened in the same way. ![]() Not terrible, just not my thing.Įdit l confess l wrote my original review during the first wearing, without (gasp!) waiting for the drydown. The sillage isn't bad, but it's gone after two hours. Its like a quieter and less synthetic version of Alfred Sung Homme, or like a more civilized version of. lt's crisp & refreshing, definitely a summer scent, but l'm not getting any florals or musk here. Soapy fresh, clean, and green with real oakmoss. l was expecting heady, tropical flowers, but it's fruity & a little aquatic. Next, the scent itself is disappointing to me. There are other scents that are very similar to "Hidden Fantasy" as well, like "Poppy" by Coach, and I feel exactly the same way about that perfume! I find I like it and it smells nice for a bit, then I get tired of smelling it! I do find that I actually receive nice compliments from other (sometimes) when I wear these kinds of perfumes, but if I get tired of smelling it then I can't wear it.First off, the bottle is awful, it looks like a pencil sharpener with a lid made from my kitchen worktop. It's a scent that I don't mind the smell of for a brief period of time, but I definitely get tired of smelling it if it surrounds me all day, which is exactly how I feel about the original Fantasy perfume as well. Base Notes: Fir, Oakmoss, Leather, Musk, Cedar.

It has some really nice citrus in the top notes, which I always appreciate! But, it's not really a lot of noticeable citrus, and those notes fade out fast! Which, again, is unfortunate because I'm not crazy about the actual heart of the fragrance. Middle Notes: Pine Tree Needles, Aldehydes, Carnation, Geranium, Spicy Notes, Caraway, Jasmine and Rose. It turns out there's a reason I never find this one to be a particularly memorable scent! It's just a scent I never find particularly interesting or exciting in any way. I have tried this perfume from the tester bottles in stores a few times now, and, remarkably, I never clearly remember what it smelled like later! :D So, I bought a small sample to try at home so I can actually review it! ![]()
