Don't Ask Me Permission
Simone Andreoli's Don't Ask Me Permission is a fruit-meets-amber delight with delicious notes of lime, sugar and passionfruit.
From Simone Andreoli
An infusion of impudent beauty and cheeky femininity flooded by the pleasure of the wildest nights of Rio de Janeiro. An invitation to drink a Maracuja Caipirinha for inexorably abandoning to the carioca groove and to the most libertine passions.
The fragrance opening surrounds the ambience with lime and sugar aromas while the heart embodies the exotic and transgressive soul of Brazil through passion fruit, ylang-ylang and heliotrope. The expression of desire and of the most explicit sensual energy is being screamed by the base where amber, sandalwood and cachaça stand out.

I love this scent, a new favorite, I wish they had travel sizes... I wish I could give it a proper review. so despite lacking the vocab It's a sensually balanced tropical romantic welcoming invasion to the senses. I would say it's Def feminine but would love to smell on my male partner. Wonderful dry down not over powering, but elegant and sexy. I'd say this and Falling into the Sea remind me of tropical adventures. its syfisticated, adventurous, energizing, enticing and romantic...I will Def get the full bottle or fingers crossed it comes in a travel size.
I got this specifically because of the passion fruit note, and I will admit on that front I am disappointed. I had a hard time picking up on it, if at all. That may be just how it wears on me.
BUT, and it is a big but, I still think this is a gorgeous perfume.
The pink sugar and lime are very forward in the initial spritz, as it dries down on the skin it has a slightly acidic (not overbearing at all), warm floral aroma.
The last time of this is also phenomenal, it wore well on my coat for at least a day or two. With no odd dry down or wear scent.
So although I didn't get my slutty passion fruit perfume, this is still a worthwhile Gourmand.
