This Smelled Like Cheap Hand Soap

Thank you to @thisisbutterly and @cleanbeauty_collective for the rollerball in the scent Brilliant Peony. I received this fragrance in exchange for my review. My opinion is my own and based on trying the product. This is a light floral that would be best in Spring and Summer.

I get an orange/bergamot note with a pink floral. I don’t know that I’d recognize it as peony or magnolia. I found this to be a bit soapy or maybe the smell reminded me of a soap I’ve used. It had limited longevity on me and was a more of a personal to skin scent. That seems to be my experience with fragrances that are marketed as clean. This didn’t smell as high end, realistic or nuanced as I’d hoped.
I do like fruity notes but this scent wasn’t a good match for me personally. If you enjoy florals and prefer scents that aren’t huge projectors, you might enjoy this. The packaging was nice quality and great to pop in your purse for touch ups.
Personally, this gave me a headache, which was surprising since it wasn’t very strong. I find it very overpriced simply because it’s “clean” which doesn’t really mean much of anything. Its price tag might be close to designer scents but the smell is juvenile and far from my expectations.
