Yes, if you appreciate fresh, green scents with a unique twist.
Dear Polly is often described as a fresh and vibrant scent with a strong emphasis on green and fruity notes. Users frequently mention the bright bergamot and apple at the top, which give it a lively opening, while the black tea adds a unique twist in the heart. The base notes of black amber and musk provide warmth and depth, making it suitable for various occasions. However, some find it too light for colder weather, and opinions vary on its longevity and projection, with some users wishing for better performance.
