Body mists as a product, sometimes doesn’t deliver the strength and longevity you need from a fragrance. But that’s what you would expect from a product that can be low in price and with a lower concentration of actual fragrance in it. On a trip to Primark I decided NOT to buy a body mist, but an eau de parfum instead. I grabbed PS Cherry Crush Eau de Parfum 20ml for £2.50. But is this any good?
Why did I buy it?
I was tempted by the body mists but hoped for something stronger. Although their full sized eau de parfums aren’t expensive (only £5.00), what if they weren’t good? That’s £5.00 potentially wasted. So it was very handy that two fragrances had smaller versions of the full sizes at a cost of only £2.50. I smelt the full size of Cherry Crush and loved it. 20ml is the perfect try me size and price.
Packaging
20ml of fragrance comes in what I would describe as a test tube shaped bottle. Made from plastic and has a spray applicator. I mention this because some fragrances this size might be a roller dispenser, which I didn’t want. The bottle itself is tinted red, perfect for the scent.
How it smells
This fragrance is sweet, floral and berry like. Is it cherry? This smells darker and richer than strawberry, raspberry or anything along those lines. But would I go as far as to say cherry? Not sure. BUT this combination of scents works very well with each other, and a hint of musk, makes this smell so good!
Strength & longevity
I was quite generous with my first application. Who wouldn’t be when a fragrance smells great? It was very obvious, immediate hit of fragrance and then unfortunately went down hill from there. It started off as a medium and then the strength and scent disappeared so quickly. A few hours after application, I could barely smell this which was very disappointing.
Recommended?
No. Great scent, handy size and packaging and super affordable. But I’ve bought and used body mists with better strength and longevity than this. It started well but didn’t end well.
