Advantages: Fresh smelling fraagrance

Disadvantages: Expensive

I tend to stick with the perfumes I know suit me and don't make me feel ill, unfortunately just a sniff of some stronger perfumes and I get a headache that can lead to a migraine and being physically sick. One day a friend was saying that she like Euphoria Blossom, but found the original too strong so I tried it and liked it and bought a bottle.

*History*
Calvin Klein launched the original Euphoria in 2005, it is a deep fragrance but far too heavy to appeal for the Asian market so decided last year to create a lighter version. That pleased me too!

*Fragrance*
I always find describing a fragrance very difficult but for the people who like to know these things I can give you this information.

Top Notes
Kumquat, Dewy green accord and Pomegranate.

Middle Notes
Orchid blossom, Lotus blossom and Pink peony.

Base Notes
Blond wood, White amber and Frosted sheer musk.

To start with you can smell the sweetness, but there is a citrus fragrance too, I have no idea what Dewy green accord smells like, but there is a fresh floral fragrance and later I can smell a milder fragrance, not a deep musk but a light fresh ending. The top notes change after a few minutes and I like it better later. I have had people ask what perfume I'm wearing if I have re-applied it during an evening out, as it smells nice.

*Does it last?*
There was a clue in the last paragraph! Unfortunately not as well as some fragrances do. After about 3 hours I can't really smell it, but if I sniff my wrist (can't reach anywhere else I spray!)I am aware of a slight perfume.

*What is the bottle like?*

I searched several shops before finding it to try a second time, it is easier to find now though. The box is a beautiful shaded pinks and lilac colour and is pearlescent, a chunky rectangular shape. The name Euphoria blossom is in the top corner and Calvin Klein in the opposite lower corner, mine was a 1fl oz size or 30mls. The bottle is one I love, but will be hard to describe. It is almost shaped like an eye, but less rounded at the base, it is clear at the top so you can see the perfume but lightly coloured and opaque lower down. It is a lovely shape, it feels as if someone has gripped the glass and pushed their thumb and finger in to shape it. The spray part is chrome and the pull off top is square pale lilac plastic. My bottle is small enough to carry in a handbag.
Silly me I could have said look at the picture!

*Cost?*
Well, this varies so much so do shop around on the internet. At the moment I have seen it for £20 for 30mls and £28.95 for 50mls plus 95p postage from Cheap Smells. The MRP is £26 and £35 respectively, but it can be considerably more expensive too, so it is worth spending time checking! Comparison is normally per 100mls and I've seen this at £57.50!

*What has been said about it*
"Inspired by the delicate aura of an exquisite flower in bloom. Like a precious flower unfolding petal by petal, euphoria blossom is a lush, fresh floral that captivates the senses with its sparkling freshness and dewy radiance."

I can see where this statement is coming from, as the fragrance does open out and I can notice the fragrance changing, it always remains fresh floral making it a lovely daytime EDT and for me an evening one too. I will buy it again even though it doesn't last a long time as I really like the fresh fragrance, and it makes me feel good too. That's why it's called Euphoria!
(Just need to write some more Dooyoo reviews!)
