Heidi Klum's Surprise Eau de Toilette Spray |
The opening notes are brisk to grab your attention from citrus mandarin against the pink peppercorn. Soon, however, that wash of bright, sparkling perkiness meets the magnolia and rose in the heart, providing an alluring sheer sweetness. The more the fragrance evolves and warms, the creamier this romantic scent becomes. In the base, this luscious floral creaminess is perfected when those notes of sandalwood and benzoin kick in to pull the mix in so seductively together for almost a powdery aroma.
I really liked the unpredictable sides in this gorgeous fruity-floral and the beautiful way all those notes came together. Furthermore, Surprise had a wonderful longevity, which also endeared it to me.
The only small criticism I have revolves around the open strip of plastic that makes up the cap for the pink, black, and gold adorned glass flacon bottle. A closed cover would have been preferable. Other than that, I think this fragrance is a wonderful addition to any perfumistas' collection.
Those especially fond of a clean, but modern fruity-floral, I think you need to look into Surprise Eau de Toilette because it is a delight!
