The take

What works

  • Mimosa-almond-lilac blend with sunny yellow-floral character
  • Cheerful and mood-lifting without going saccharine
  • Sophisticated power-of-three: melon top, almond heart, vanilla base

Trade-offs

  • Melon-almond combo is polarizing — sample first
  • Dated quality that some find charming, others find old
