Esencia de Duende (for women)

Girly T-Rex

I adore this perfume! I got Esencia De Duende at a great discount online without ever having sniffed it before. I am Impressed! It smells very crisp & green, almost leafy.....maybe it's the coriander or the lotus? Not sure. Even though I wouldn't classify this as woody, I can definately detect the cedar in it. I have to add that the bottle is so gorgeous and over-the-top.....you can tell that there was alot of thought that went into this perfume, even the packaging is abstract & beautiful right down to the box it comes in. This would be perfect for anyone of any age to wear. I can't picture anyone hating this fragrance. It's lovely.

I love it on me. Such a fresh, yet soft and warm fragrance. Would agree with the other reviewer that it's aquatic.
I could walk with the bottle in my hand all day long and spray it every 5 minutes...the problem is, it seems like I would have to. Maybe it's normal, but I cannot, as much as I want to, smell it on me, after two or three hours following application. I tried layering and it helps a bit. Also, I do not notice much of a change during the dry down. It seems like it stays the same lovely self for a brief time until it disappears ;-( Looking for EDP...

The coriander is not pronounced, it becomes light and flirty when combined with the mandarin, grapefruit and bergamot. Nothing sour about the bergomot and coriander in the same place at the same time because there is touch of sugar added to the grapefruit wich combines all the top notes well. The middle notes are lovely, but, not really noteworthy! The base is nice, the cedar and mohogany are not heavy and the sandalwood becomes a touch powdery; and with the cedar and there is a sensation of insense in the drydown. I think the perfume is bright, lightly fruity,with the slight impression of acquatic notes, also very light citrus notes; Floral Green is a good category for Essencia da Duende. I do enjoy the perfume- but I find it to be a weak strength perfume and somewhat lacking in prescence. Also, the fixation is very weak. The top notes last only 1 minute, the middle notes maybe 30 minutes, and then the dry down faintly remains for an hour or two.

I love it, it's a clear, delicious and fruity fragrance. I think it's aquatic.
