Corrida

Look at this fruity delightful perfume!

I get a fruity  grapefruit splash at the beginning, but I don’t see grapefruit as one of the ingredients.   Corrida by Satellite is the perfume.  It is ripe fruit all the way and I like it.    Emotionnelle by DelRae  is similar to  Corrida ,  but  the difference is that Emotionnelle  has ripe melon for it’s fruit compared to Corrida’s  ripe purple fruit (is it black current?).

The ingredients listed are:  black current, rose, neroli, lily of the valley, jasmine, floral accord and sandalwood.  This is a  long lasting ripe fruit like scent that I’ve become fond of.   The word   “Corrida” has something to do with a bullfight.   How it got to be the name of this perfume is beyond me.

It doesnt’ last super long, but fruity ones  are not able to unless there are other strong notes in the base.   Even though it doesn’t stay on for hours, it’s intense while you are wearing it- real fruity but not sickly fruity like cheap fragrances.
