I like my fruity fragrances to lean tart and juicy and this one missed the mark for me. It's quite light and sweet and airy which, although pleasant, isn't what I personally prefer. The composition is simple which makes it great for layering, though. I use an orange perfume oil underneath it to give it a bit more bite and juice and find I like it much better that way.

Allow me to preface my review by admitting I do not normally gravitate towards gourmand fragrances. Vanillas in particular give me a lot of trouble because 9 times out of 10, the note reads as synthetic to me and reminds me more of playdoh than actual vanilla. However, I am pleased to announce that in a market currently drowning in cloying vanillas, I have finally found the one I can gel with and it is Skin by Clean Reserve.
True to its name, this perfume is skin-like with notes of natural musk that give it a nostalgic quality. The light vanilla-sweetness gives the perfume an airiness that projects outward in the most delicate and inoffensive way. This would make an incredible everyday scent or an appropriate office scent as it is quite subtle and difficult to over-spray. Despite its inherent softness, I found its longevity to be satisfactory and because its composition is so simple, it would make a perfect perfume to layer with. I'm so pleased to have finally found a vanilla that suits my personal taste!
