2013: Innisfree come to India. I was in Kolkata. So, I forced Mr. Boy (who was in Delhi that time) to visit the store. He brings me back a huge bird cage filled with Innisfree goodies. Among all the things, one thing won my heart - the Tangerine Blossom products. I loved the fragrance and promised myself to buy them when they make it permanent.
2016: I went to Innisfree, Khan Market, Delhi. My first visit to Innisfree. There I found it sitting pretty on the shelves, the entire Tangerine Blossom range. The color pattern was different but I do not take long to recognize my old love. I found this interesting product - Jelly Mist.
I said to myself, "Must try new things"
My logical brain said, "Are you seriously buying a perfume without testing its longevity?"'
My romantic heart continued, "But, I love the fragrance!"
Brain, "You have to test!"
Heart, "We both know that we don't have that kind of time in hand. We were supposed to leave 15 minutes back."
#TrueStory
Turns out, I should have listened to my brain.
Price: Rs 750 for 150ml
Texture: This one of the unique feature I have ever seen. It is like a jelly. It comes out and sits on your skin. You need to pat it on and apply it like a lotion.
Fragrance: Light, breezy, fresh floral citrus. It is different from everything I have tried and I cannot even compare it with anything. Not even 10% of this matches with anything I know. I love it to the moon and back. It is exactly how it was when I tried it in 2013.
Silage: Low
Longevity: Low. By low, I mean not even lasts on my skin for more than 15 minutes. I tried using it on moist skin, I tried with moisturiser and I have tried using it so much that I practically bathed in this. But, it still does not last more than 15 minutes :( But, my room smells of this and everyone who enters it says that it smells nice. I faced the same issue with the Tangerine Blossom shower gel.

Overall: I found this after 3 long years and it does not linger on me. I feel betrayed. I wish to bury my face in a pillow and shout. #IamSerious I think I should have picked the lotion but then I am trying not to used lotions and creams. Anyways, I am going to use it as a 'pick-me-up' and never as a fragrance. Who wears a fragrance which does not even lasts till you move out of your home?
But, the question is - It is a 'perfumed body jelly mist'. So, is it really a perfumed body mist? Or just a body jelly? Am I putting too much pressure on this product?
Anyways, has it ever happened to you that you wanted something really bad but in the end, it turned out to be a dud? Or am I the only one here? Do share...
Love,
Shayoni
