Friction Pulse by FCUK Eau De Parfum For Women 100ml

Product Information

Very similar scent profile to Coconut Hibiscus Bodycology, which is a good alternative while storing. On me, it smells like a warm floral - I can pick up on the vanilla and amber, but a lot of the tropical notes are lost and I'm left with a generic, sweet-smelling, floral perfume. The notes: pink honeysuckle, apple blossom, red berries, creamy coconut, spun sugar, vanilla absolute, pink jasmine, white vetiver, blonde woods, sandalwood, amber, magnetic musk.

I must say, the scent is okay, definately more of a summer scent however it kind of reminds me of my grandma and something she would wear. I used to work at a country club and serve Pina colada every summer and I really can't stand the smell of it. But I can see why people like it, as I would too if the male-smelling note wasn't bothering me in this composition.After wearing it a couple times I started smelling the vanilla and coconut more, and I do like this scent now. It's fresh with the apple blossom and other florals; I get a hint of pineapple as well, though not listed. I get lots of creamy coconut and juicy pineapple (which isn't listed), on me this is pure, yummy Pina Colada!

Note, I don't see myself wearing this during winter, it is very much a spring/summer scent if you like to perfume yourself according to the seasons. The sweetness is very much toned down by this point and the base notes come out to play: lovely rich woods, peppery vetiver and smooth amber - all blending seemlessly into a very feminine and elegant scent.Too bad it didn't work for me, though, but I guess that just shows how important skin chemistry is when it comes to perfume. I would not have expected a creamcicle drydown because I did not detect that at all upon the first hour of wearing it.
