Meet one of my guilty pleasures! I originally bought it for the bottle, but have since gotten some more for back up. No, it isn't earth-shatteringly original, but it has some nice twists to your average floral woody musk. And its just so danged pleasant!!! Plus it holds up really well on my skin in the Florida heat and humidity.
Well, most of the time! I had an "incident" with this fragrance early on. I'd been wearing it for several days running, trying to get a better sense of its seeming ability to morph at a moments notice. One day it would be a floral, next day more fruity, another day it would get soapy, etc.. But I was really enjoying it in all its forms. Then came the day! I'd had a horrid morning at work. I was in an even more horrible mood! I could tell my hormone levels were flying off the charts because of how impatient and down right nasty I was acting! So what did I do when I got home? Did I bathe, relax and drink a little herb tea to smooth myself out? Hell no. I walked in, changed out of my uniform and spritzed on some perfume. Turned out to be a really BAD move on my part. Yes, Deseo morphed again. This time it decided to react to my anger and tension. Wow, did it ever react! It became this hideous alien creature on my skin. Damp, slimy and aggressive as a scent can be! And, OF COURSE, it wouldn't wash off!!!!! It latched on to the cellular structure of my flesh and wasn't about to let go. But I'll tell you, that changed my mood dramatically. I felt like I was fighting for my life for a few seconds there. Really, that's no exaggeration. Somehow it was as if the energy of the fragrance attacked the negative and "bad" energy that I was feeling and expressing. That's what I was truly fighting with. And whatever the energy is that is attached to this particular fragrance.... it abhors negativity!
Needless to say, I was surprised by that turn of events. But you never know when, and how, help will be there for you.
As a fragrance to wear, its a lovely scent. Really does remind me of a semi-tropical garden. The florals are quite nice. The bamboo note is a great addition. And longevity is good too! A winner all the way around. Be sure and give it a try if you can.
