One question I ask myself when a fashion brand launches a fragrance is, "How well does this perfume capture this brand's fashion style? Then you see these pictures—we saw some actually—of these beautiful, big white blossoms on these dry cactuses.

I find that it has similarities to Sun Di Gioia and Margiella’s Beach Walk, wherein there’s an airy, luminescent sweetness present in all three. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I get cactus flower, strawberry, and orange blossom - sweet and bright but with a 'watery' center (not blue or aquatic, but like a juicy berry you bite into and feel the juices squirt).I've lived in Arizona and loved the Sonoran desert, which is an incredible place but nothing in the perfume reminds me of it. Proenza Schouler recently launched its debut fragrance, Arizona, a "radiant" scent that conjures "feelings of liberation to find a greater truth.

Beautiful bottle that evoked rock formations in the Sonoran desert, but the actual perfume was not for me.

If you like this but want something a little lighter, fruitier, and more balanced try Faan Thanaghum!
