‘The lights come up on a spectacular stage: thrilling choreography and breathtaking scenography unfold. The audience erupts in a roar as five girls step onto the stage, dressed in their iconic looks, each with her own unmistakable style – Sporty, Posh, Baby, Ginger and Scary.They are the Spice Girls, and the energy they radiate is contagious. The entire arena is alive with music and chants, and a sense of empowerment and joy fills the air. Everyone feels inspired and uplifted – united by the celebration of individuality and the unifying power of music.’ – Jusbox
Well, at least it’s definitely miles better than The House Of Oud L’Explicite when it comes to the banana note. It’s another cloying, trendy ‘hyper’gourmand that 2024/2025 has been littered with, but I think it works a tad better and the quality is a small step up from some others in this category.
The opening is the best part; you get some nice acidity mixed with biscuits. A picture a cookie with some citrus / fruit drizzle on top and while definitely not my taste, it works pretty well and it makes for a fun, light-hearted fragrance that has some personality.
Give it few minutes and the fragrance starts to morph into something more floral and casual sweet-fruity-floral designer style. I still get cookies, mixed with an airy, subtle strawberry. More sweet strawberry, than acidic unfortunately, but it’s among the more wearable strawberry executions I’ve smelled in a while.
Even though Sisters B4 Misters turns pretty badly in the drydown in my opinion, it holds up better than for example Juliette Has A Gun Miami Shake. A lot of the remaining hours of the wear are a sugary, but somewhat earthy/woody, I guess I would describe it as. It’s a bit of a mix of everything, with tart florals left, and a hint of more juicy Sephora-isle sweetness to keep it from being overly dry (because, dry it is).
I’d describe Sisters B4 Misters as a slightly above average fragrance in one of the most lackluster styles of fragrances that is being churned out. I personally wouldn’t ever consider wearing it other than for sampling purposes, but I am a Mister, so there’s that.
