The second of the new Crescent Row fragrances is called So Hooked on Carmella and this one looks even lighter and springier than the Eva fragrance. I am beginning to wonder if this coolection will have a fragrance for fall or if I will have to wait until late next winter to decide which of these to buy."When it comes to Carmella, don't ask and don't tell. A light touch has admirers under her spell. Her sweet sensuality, no one would guess, so exquisite, enticing..."an intimate caress". The Crescent Row fragrances are based on a fashionable strip of flats in Bath, England, which serve as home to several imaginary girls. Their lives are filled with laughter, gossip, and seduction; and each scent, bottle, artwork, and name was created to reflect the fascinating protagonists. So Hooked on Carmella is a floral vanilla that's exquistely feminine. Discover the scent that strikes a chord - and then come back to collect the others!"
Sephora places this fragrance in the Fresh and Citrus categories so I don't quite understand why in the description that it was described as a floral vanilla. Here are the notes of the fragrance: Lemon, Grapefruit, Rhubarb, Cyclamen, Peony, Tiare Flower, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Amber. I am failing to see right now how this fragrance can be in both categories and how strong the base notes can be if it is fresh and citrus.
This isn't a fragrance that would suit me. All the citrus notes in it will sour it on my skin. This also looks like another fragrance that won't really work in the fall and winter. Let's see how the last one stacks up.
