Momoberry Sanrio for women

I felt like I got strawberries & peach at the opening. I wish that had lasted longer than a few minutes because it gave such a nice freshness to this fragrance welcome after what seems like such a long winter. The drydown is all flowers with no one note overpowering. Extreme drydown brings just a hint of sandalwood. The fragrance reads young and great for summer. This is the first Tristan Brando fragrance I've tried that I like - the others were too sickenly sweet or smelled like rotting fruit.

When one hears that Sanrio has been pushing perfume, you'll inevitably think that the scent is all pink, candy-sweet silliness intended for children. After all, Hello Kitty is for kids, right? Not so.

As soon as this hits the skin, Momoberry assails you with a juicy flurry of white peach and guava (and maybe - MAYBE - just a hint of papaya). The fruit mellows a bit with time, warming up, receding, so the floral notes can make their appearance as well.

The floral notes listed are gardenia, jasmine, tuberose and hibiscus... but they blend so beautifully, I can't pick out a single one of them. These flowers are distinctive but not sharp, tropical but not generic. They provide a more grown-up background on which the fruity topnotes play.

Hours later, I can still smell this on myself, which is fantastic. I get only a faint whiff of coconut milk as the scent dissipates from my skin, and am ultimately left with barely-there sandalwood in its final stages.

Overall, much more than I expected from a Hello Kitty product. At the very least, floral-fruity lovers would be wise to try a sample.
