Love this stuff, Perfect for Spring. Tessture did a great job describing it. It is scentsational! Clove and Cinnomon, makes this very interesting!

I have to echo here what previous reviewers have said - it smells like a garden, or like the countryside. It smells like stepping outside in the very beginning of spring, after all the flowers have just opened up, and a breeze carries their scent around the neighborhood...

Unfortunately, this scent is both as beautiful and fleeting as a spring breeze.

On my skin, Bluebell opens as a slightly soapy floral. Not too long after, the clove emerges. Cloves are the bane of my existence, so I was planning to get up and go wash this off... but it disappeared before I got the chance.

All in all, if you do not fear or loathe the cloves, this is a fresh, springy, clean floral with some unexpected depth. The spices do not come across as spicy, but they do keep it from being "just another floral".

this perfume smells like the english countryside in late may after a shower of rain. wore it once on such an evening with a blue linen dress, it was just perfect. just seemed to blend in with the whole picture of an english village on a summer evening with the rain just gone and a bit of mist rising.you have to be in the right mood for it, sometimes i really don't like it. don't use it when you've got hay fever!! it is a smell that seems to follow you around. maybe my bottle is getting old, but i can't smell the citrus top note at all, with me it goes over very quickly to cloves and cinnamon, and hyacinths that are going over a bit, kept in a vase too long. a strange, rather eccentric sort of smell. my father liked it very much.

A fascinating scent. The opening is sharp citrus and heavy duty springtime hyacinth. The middle is a complete floral bouquet and almost hothousey(if there is such a word) and the ending is a combination of a very green galbanum melded with cinnamon and clove.

So it starts out like spring then brings you back inside for a spicy cider.

In a perfect world, I'd dump the spice and and add a bit of moss or cedar.

I'm suprised I could even put this near my skin what with the Hyacinth note (its pretty much my most HATED note) but I could not smell it. I don't know what a Bluebell physically smells like (although I found quite an interesting article about the disappearance of Bluebells in their native Britain, and conservation attempts of this beautiful flower)but I found this perfume to be suprisingly 'spicy'. I'm sure it must be a combination of the cloves and cinammon, but I was surprised to even see cinammon listed in the notes! Although this is a beautiful scent i'm not sure its for me.

Green, dirty galbanum and iris, like fresh garden dirt in spring. The dry down is more like perfume, but the opening is evocative and lovely.
