Flor de la Virgen Boy Smells for women and men

I like this. I can see it being cloying and headache inducing in high heat, but this would be great for spring. Very punchy and tart. Smells like a lush, dewy, fruity, green utopia. I agree with the J’adore comparison but this is less demure and more playful.

This one and marble fruit are the best in this collection. They smell delightful. I was worried how this one would translate on skin, as it smelled very harsh on the test strip. It is a juicy and sweet, yet very multidimensional jasminey experience. Labdanum is one of my favorite smells, and it really balances the juiciness of pomelo and jasmine. It’s not as unique as most of boy smells candles, but it is a perfect everyday perfume.

I like it more than I expected to. I just put it on, so no word on longevity yet, but the dry down is so enjoyable. I really recommend trying this out.

First blast of super sweet bright jasmine... overly sweet at first. Heavy handed and could be headache inducing in the heat of summer. After a minute, it calms down and there's a intriguing note of something coldly aromatic. Ah, saffron. Lovely! Still extremely sweet and yet it works. It's fresh, white floral, candied, and yet the warmth and weight of darker musk is there, elusive. Extremely strong projection, I wouldn't dare go more than one spray. Feminine and best for mild or cool weather.

Flor de la Virgen is a sunny, zesty citrus with florals and a musky base. It opens with pomelo and lemon drizzled with honey. The green notes stand out in the dry down and the jasmine blossoms beautifully on the skin. This smells like summer showers and running through flower fields. This is the best scent Boy Smells has to offer by far. It's unique and doesn't have that astringent cleaner smell I get with other lemon fragrances. If you like ELDO's You or Someone Like You, Byredo Bal d'Afrique or Floral Street Sunflower Pop you must sample this <3

If you grew up loving Victoria's Secret Bombshell body spray, but you're older, wiser, and don't want to smell like a citronella candle, try this. Reminds me of a more complex Bombshell but grown up, less cloying, with a bright burst of freshness and mellow, zesty middle. I get pleasant citrus whiffs of the pomelo, jasmine, and fig all day. Addictively good to my nose. If you're a citrus fiend, absolutely try it. I'm going to wear this all winter to help me get through the seasonal doldrums. It's bright and happy, and reminds me of a sunny summer day. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but wow is it shamelessly mine.
