Arielle Shoshana Monday Reviews

Fragrantica - This fragrance is like floating on a cloud. Creamy, dreamy, bergamot, lavender, and tea. I imagine wearing this on a Monday would make the transition to the workweek far less traumatic- and I just might try it tomorrow! The lavender here is not sharp- lavender is often a note that completely rules out a fragrance for me, but not here. The effect is gourmand I , not soapy. There's a lactonic effect here but it doesn't smell like milk, no sourness. Just creaminess. Really, wearing this fragrance is like sipping on a cup of bliss. Get your wallets ready if you love gourmands, tea fragrances, or blissful serenity.

Fragrantica - I am happy to announce that Monday is one of the only fragrance's where the tea note stands out for me. What's lovely about Monday is that, while it is inspired by and does smell like a frothy lactonic Earl Grey tea, the bergamot and lemon zest notes stand on their own: you immediately clock that it's tea, but you can smell the individual notes too. I also enjoy that the lavender note is understated (I find a lot of perfumes with lavender notes almost smell medicinal to me) and elevates the other elements of the perfume.

Fragrantica - Monday starts as a beautiful, bright lemonade tea scent. After about 20 minutes, the brightness fades away to a creamy, slightly fluffy from the lavender, feminine-leaning tea. It has a bit more development and is a little less linear than Dear Polly, which I think is wonderful. This one I would say is more suited for warmer weather but could work in the fall thanks to the amber and sandalwood anchoring this down. It's not BR540, but on my skin, I got a good 8-10 hours and even longer on clothing. I get scent fatigue pretty easy if I overspray so when sampling I take it easy.Fragrantica - Beautiful clean citrus tea scent. Smells like a creamy and way smoother & refined version of Dear Polly.

Fragrantica - "I absolutely adore the brightness of this with the lavender. It's dewy and bracing and exactly what I want to wear when in need of some extra boss energy."
