Core

Core opens on the bright fruity trio that defines Ed Hardy's Hearts & Daggers for Her - juicy red apple, tangy blood orange and green violet leaf, sweet and energetic from the first spray. The heart turns tropical with mango and apple blossom over a hint of jasmine, before settling into a warm base of amber, soft woods, benzoin and musk for staying power. Against the original the budget take is a little flatter and the fruit reads slightly sharper and more candied, while sillage stays moderate. It's still a fun, flirtatious fruity-floral for warm weather - a vacation-friendly everyday scent for casual days and easygoing dates.
