Decisions, Decisions by Imaginary Authors

Decisions, Decisions opens with a blast of sweet jasmine and hints of incense, but mind you that is on paper...
I have tried this fragrance before, some time ago, and back then I quickly thought to myself "this is not for me". Today I was left with only a few drops left, enough for me to wear it as my scent of the day and for a test strip.

Decisions, Decisions, just like back then, has a comical resemblance to the smell of pickles on my skin at the opening notes. It is rare that fragrances perform the same on paper as they do on my skin, but Decisions, Decisions is much the same besides the strong resemblance to sour cucumbers.

I remember last time I tried it that I wasn't thrown aback like I usually am with fragrances from the house of Imaginary Authors. 
Decisions, Decisions is a pleasant fragrance after dry down, the quality is great and the scent is perfectly balanced, but it lacks the Imaginary Authors pezaz!
If I owned this I would absolutely wear it; it is sweet, flavourful and perfect for autumn and winter, but I have so many other fragrances, more unique, on my wishlist that stand out more from my collection.

When all is said and done, I have been taking sneak whiffs off my wrists all day long. Decisions, Decisions has enamoured me so much that I choose to forget the initial opening note of doom. It is a perfect everyday 'don't make a scene' fragrance. The more I smell it, the more I want it!

Let's rewind. Yes, Decisions, Decisions has an opening note of sour pickles; not exactly what I care to smell like, but after dry down the fragrance becomes a gorgeous intoxicating labdanum, which is ever so lightly sweet. My nose does not catch on to too many white florals despite the composition, in actuality, Decisions, Decisions is quite lactonic with amber undertones.

Composed of tuberose, sarsaparilla, geranium, labdanum, jasmine sambac, raspberries and sweet suspense, I only miss the fruitiness of the raspberries in Decisions, Decisions.

Though I stand by and agree with my prior review of Decisions, Decisions before my time reviewing fragrances on here, I have completely changed my regard for it.
I absolutely adore it for what it is and would love to add it to my collection.
Who would have thought that I would ever love a fragrance that smells like pickles... Not me.
