June K I’ve tested the entire Ki-oku collection and own both Soft Launch and Afterglow. There is something incredibly supple and polished about their creations, so when I saw the notes for Once Upon A Time, I knew it would be a beautiful scent with that same DNA.
I received my package yesterday, so here is a Day 2 report: The dewy, floral, and zesty opening is so lovely, and the creamy sandalwood dry down is everything. The grapefruit lasts surprisingly long on my skin, and the fragrance overall lasts about 4–6 hours. This is one of the few successful blind buys I’ve made, and I’m so happy with it. It’s a "spring pond fairy" scent without feeling juvenile. Love it!
