Flor de la Virgen
by Boy Smells
Flor de la Virgen by Boy Smells is a bright, juicy citrus-floral fragrance that opens with a zesty burst of pomelo, lemon zest, and honey, layered over a crisp fig leaf note. The middle unfolds into a soft, sweet jasmine that lingers lightly without becoming overpowering, blending well with green and balsamic undertones. As it dries down, the fragrance settles into a delicate, slightly musky base with a smooth ambroxan and labdanum presence, creating a clean, wearable finish. It’s best suited for spring and summer, with moderate sillage and longevity that feels light but sustained. The scent is approachable and feminine-leaning, with a crisp, fresh quality that evokes a summer day, dewy fields, and subtle sweetness reminiscent of sweet floral body sprays or J’Adore Dior’s more playful iterations.
Pros
- +A bright, refreshing citrus and floral opening that feels uplifting and mood-lifting.
- +A smooth, clean dry down with musky warmth that keeps the fragrance from fading too quickly.
- +Comparable to higher-quality, well-balanced eau de parfums like You by Etat et al. or J’Adore Dior.
Cons
- −Can be overly sweet or cloying in high heat or for those sensitive to floral notes.
- −The jasmine can dominate for some, making the fragrance less subtle than expected.
- −May veer into body spray territory for those seeking a more refined, high-end fragrance experience.
