A Sorta Fairytale In Hyde Park
by Strangers Parfumerie
A Sorta Fairytale in Hyde Park is a lightly sweet, powdery yellow floral that captures the essence of spring with delicate elegance. The opening features a bright burst of heliotrope, mimosa, and honeyed florals, rounded out by clean musk and vanilla, creating a soft, almost nostalgic bouquet reminiscent of a garden in bloom. The fragrance develops into a harmonious blend of white and yellow florals with a subtle amber warmth and a dry-down that lingers as a powdery, softly musky trail. While most appreciate its naturalistic and airy character, a few find it too soapy or artificial, particularly noting a medicinal or musty undertone that may be chemistry-dependent. Overall, it’s best worn during daylight hours in spring and early summer, with a moderate sillage that feels intimate yet present.
Pros
- +Extremely well-blended and naturalistic floral character
- +Delicate sweetness that avoids cloying
- +Masculine-leaning users may find it acceptable due to the powdery, non-girly nature
Cons
- −Longevity is moderate—some users report the scent fades under 12 hours
- −Fragrance profile is very specific and may not appeal to those who dislike yellow florals or powdery textures
- −Not suitable for evening wear or cold weather due to its light, springy character
