Marshmallow Blush: a strawberry-lemon accord that ends in marshmallow, not syrup
The opening is a surprise. Lemon speaks first, tart and crisp, immediately joined by raspberry and a more discreet strawberry. The effect is that of a lemon biscuit filled with red jam: sweet, but with enough acidity to hold its own. The heart softens without weighing down: whipped cream and orange blossom round out the fruit while ambroxan lays a clean base underneath. At the finish, marshmallow and vanilla dominate, supported by a light musk. It is a fluffy gourmand, not a dense one.

Who it’s for, and when
Presented as unisex, it leans clearly feminine: the register is playful, sweet, light. The point on which reviews are unanimous is also its limit: the projection is discreet. This is not a fragrance that fills a room; it stays within a close perimeter, shows itself mostly when someone comes near, and often calls for a reapplication in the middle of the day. Seen differently, it is an asset: it goes anywhere, in class, at work, in summer, where a powerful gourmand would quickly become a nuisance to those around you. If you are looking for a sweet scent that turns heads at three metres, this is not the one. If you are looking for a comfortable sweet scent to wear every day, it is very well placed.
Usage tips
Given its discretion, four to five sprays are not too many: wrists, base of the neck, inner elbows, and one on the upper part of your clothing. Do not rub your wrists. To prolong the wear, spray on moisturised skin: gourmand molecules cling poorly to dry skin and everything evaporates faster. One spray in the hair, from twenty centimetres away, keeps the fruity part going for a good part of the day. Store the bottle away from light and heat.

Frequently asked questions
Does it really last long?
Let’s be frank: it is its weak point. The juice stays present for several hours but very close to the skin, and many women reapply it in the middle of the day. Spraying on clothing and on moisturised skin clearly improves things.
Is it too sweet?
Less than you might imagine from reading the name. The lemon in the top cuts the sugar during the first hour and the marshmallow in the base stays airy rather than caramelised. It is a light gourmand, not a thick one.
Which season should I wear it in?
All year round, and especially from spring to summer: its discretion, which is a flaw in winter, becomes a quality when the heat amplifies everything.
Can a man wear it?
It is billed as unisex, but the strawberry-marshmallow accord is still perceived as feminine in general. A man who likes fruity gourmands will find something to enjoy in it by dosing at two sprays.
Is the bottle new and sealed?
Yes, sold new, under cellophane in its box.
What if it doesn’t suit me?
As long as the bottle has been neither opened nor unsealed, you benefit from the statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal from the date of receipt. Customer service takes over from there.
