A Thousand Wishes 2020 Edition

A Thousand Wishes 2020 Edition is a sweet, effervescent fragrance with a soft almondy and champagne-like sparkle. It opens with a sugary fruity top note, dominated by quince and amaretto, giving it a milky, dreamy quality akin to Shirley Temple or Palmolive Pink shampoo. The amber and peony base adds a warm, powdery depth that balances the sweetness. The scent is playful, feminine, and distinctly crowd-pleasing — ideal for casual wear or gifting. It delivers a light, gauzy presence with moderate sillage and moderate longevity, making it more suitable for brief encounters or layering. While the fragrance has a certain elegance and consistency in perfume form, it is not challenging or complex — more nostalgic and comforting than standout in performance or uniqueness. Many users find it memorable and consistent across products, though newer formulations show weak longevity and diluted character. The notes are not particularly bold or shocking, but the soft sweet profile remains broadly appealing. There is a subtle star anise or licorice note noted by some, which may turn off fans of that particular accent.
