Bubble unfolds as a vivid, effervescent scent that captures the essence of a chilled champagne flute spiked with cassis. The opening is bright, tart, and sparkling—like unspilling the first sip of fizzy wine on skin. It carries a near-realistic approximation of fresh, floral, and slightly soapy champagne notes, with a milky softness from sandalwood and white musk. The perfume transitions into a smooth, creamy floral musk, where rose and aromatic nuances deepen the scent into something more grounded and sensual. While many describe the initial burst as unexpectedly intense—one reviewer likened it to a bar spilled with wine, another noted a faint janitorial soap aftertaste—the perfume never becomes harsh. Instead, most find the transition from fizzy crispness to a quiet, milky floral finish pleasantly elegant. The scent is undeniably playful and attention-grabbing, marked by moderate to strong projection and a moderate longevity that suits spring and summer days. It shines brightest during daytime wear, particularly in warm weather, though some note it doesn’t last long on skin. Its sillage ranges from moderate to intimate, with a soft flow rather than a bold trail. The fragrance reveals subtle complexity—especially the fruity aldehydic spark and musky warmth—making it a standout among effervescent scents. Still, the realism of the initial impression may catch some off guard, especially in layered wear or clothing.
