VIC

BY CASWELL-MASSEY

Part of the NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN series

The opening blast is a bright floral mix, with hints of apple blossom and muguet very briefly present, but the orchid note develops soon.  It s a fairly soft and discreet orchid, but a very pleasant one.

 

Later on a green-woody mix develops, with hints of a somewhat generic and crisp oakmoss, mixed with the smell one may experience when walking to the gardens on a nice day.

 

I get moderate sillage, good projection, and seven hours of longevity on my skin.

 

This agreeable spring scent was inspired by the venerable Vanda Giganticus orchid in the NYBG.   A bit generic in the mossy part, but otherwise crafted well.   The VIC soap is lovely too.  3/5
