Euphoria Blossom by Calvin Klein for women

An in your face, bam, kind of mix. Strong. Not for headache prone gals.

Orchid can be lovely if done right. But this is too much. None of the other notes did much to tone down this loud, crazy, screeching floral, so I'm guessing they weren't intended to. They must be there to silently "prop up" the orchid.
The funny thing is, I can tell that "Blossom" is constructed with the idea of smelling soft and feminine and delicate. But to my nose, it certainly is not.
I can't actually remember smelling the pomegranate or even the peony for that matter. (I didn't wash it off, but I didn't wear it more than once, either.)
I read elsewhere that this was designed with Asian tastes in mind. All I know, is that my boss is from Hong Kong, and I can't see her touching this with a 10-foot pole.

I wanted to like this, but there's a note that's too sharp - almost sour - for my taste. At first, I could smell some floral with fruit (I'm assuming that's the pomegranate) and a sharpness that I didn't really like. I thought it would be softer, more floral, and less fruity, like the word "blossom" implies to me. In the drydown I didn't have any floral notes left, just the sharp fruit and some woody notes that I'm not fond of.

A lot of unrelated notes blended together to create a heady floral rush. The kind of fragrance everyone notices when you step into the room, though, if that's your intention.
