I can understand this, sometimes certain things produce an effect that is irrational despite ourselves. <br />Poor freesia, so maligned, but then perfumers don't really make it more inviting.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-27713983571393726242012-05-09T11:37:15.893+01:002012-05-09T11:37:15.893+01:00Maria,

I actually have no (or little) olfactory impression of it - though I thought I did! Perhaps the clean, sharp note also has a feeling of coolness?

My mom put fresh cut flowers in my bedroom! I didn't want to leave the room! The closest thing to it that I ever smelled was a sample of Freesia by Antonia's Flowers. However, when I went to order some, she stopped making the single note perfume and only had scents of various combination. Well, I took a Maria Hailenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-21317335241611654242012-05-08T07:08:55.455+01:002012-05-08T07:08:55.455+01:00No commercial links please. :-)No commercial links please. :-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-9109798836280296262012-05-08T07:07:45.815+01:002012-05-08T07:07:45.815+01:00Maria,

I wish that the synth replications were closer to the real thing. <br />I suspect AdG and other such light fragrances are popular for a reason in our climate; the best parts "bloom" in the heat and the sharpness is all but gone and only coolness remains. ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-34849797698481671912012-05-08T07:06:07.149+01:002012-05-08T07:06:07.149+01:00M,

...M,<br /><br />you're welcome, glad it's enjoyable. <br /><br />You know, this is exactly why some notes get a bad reputation: freesia isn't replicated in the realistic glory of the flower most of the times and instead is paired with other ertzaz flowers that are blindingly "clean" and sharp, i.e. peony and cyclamen. Recipe for shrill death. ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-34719437239591278292012-05-08T05:03:13.425+01:002012-05-08T05:03:13.425+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.deepowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365366236531215938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-41797766853376392902012-05-07T17:18:00.349+01:002012-05-07T17:18:00.349+01:00How I love freesia, the flowers are trully amazing...How I love freesia, the flowers are trully amazing for their scent but also for their colors and shape.

To me freesia is one of he worst floral notes, sharp, too clean and loud, right next to peony as examples of flowers that should be left to the gardens. Or the flower shops: intriguing, as you report, that freesia was chosen to represent the mishmash, slightly unbreathable air of flower shops.<br /><br />caciocaciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902017914305322799noreply@blogger.com
