Well, let me tell you about this here perfume, the one they call Catherine Malandrino Transcendent. I ain’t no fancy perfume expert or nothin’, but I know what smells good and what don’t. And this here perfume, it smells… interestin’.

First off, they say it got “dew drop” and “green notes” in it. Now, I ain’t never smelled a dew drop, but if it smells anything like this perfume, then it must be pretty darn fresh. It’s kinda like when you go out early in the mornin’ and the grass is all wet, you know? That kind of smell. They also say there’s “fruity notes” and “orange” in it. It do smell a bit sweet, like them ripe peaches we used to pick back home. Not too sweet mind you, just enough to make it pleasant. Makes you feel kinda… lively.
Then there’s the middle part, the “heart” they call it. Heliotrope, pink rose, and jasmine. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, it smells fancy too. The rose, that’s easy enough to pick out. It’s like them old-fashioned roses grandma used to grow, real sweet and kinda powdery. The jasmine, that’s a bit stronger, a little bit spicy even. And the heliotrope? I ain’t got a clue what that is, but it smells nice, kinda like vanilla but not exactly. It all blends together real good, makes you feel kinda… pretty.
Now, the last part, the “base notes” they call ’em, that’s where it gets real interestin’. Sandalwood and cashmere wood. Now, sandalwood, I know that smell. It’s kinda warm and woodsy, like them old cedar chests we used to keep our quilts in. Makes you feel kinda… cozy. And the cashmere wood? That’s new to me. It’s smooth and kinda creamy, like that softest blanket you ever felt. It makes the whole perfume last longer, I reckon, stays on your skin for a good while.
They say this here Transcendent perfume came out in 2023. That ain’t so long ago, is it? I guess it’s one of them newfangled things. They talk about another one too, Violet Gem. That one sounds real sweet, with coconut milk and passionfruit. I bet it’s good for spring, when everything’s bloomin’. But this Transcendent, it feels more… year-round to me.
- It’s fresh enough for summer, with that dew drop and fruity stuff.
- It’s floral enough for spring, with them roses and jasmine.
- And it’s warm enough for fall and winter, with that sandalwood and cashmere wood.
Some folks, they like all sorts of different smells. I heard tell of some fancy perfumes with names like Chanel and Skylar. I ain’t never smelled them, but I bet they cost a pretty penny. This Catherine Malandrino, you can get it online, they say. And sometimes it’s even on sale! Ain’t that somethin’?

So, what’s the final word on this here Catherine Malandrino Transcendent perfume? Well, it ain’t gonna make you younger or richer, that’s for sure. But it smells nice. It makes you feel… well, it makes you feel good. And sometimes, that’s all you need, ain’t it? It’s a smell that stays with ya, makes ya feel fresh and pretty and cozy all at the same time. It’s blended real good, they say, to “transcendent your senses.” Now, I don’t know about all that fancy talk, but I do know it smells mighty fine. And that’s good enough for me.
They say it’s sophisticated and all that, bottled up real nice. And I guess it is. The bottle’s kinda plain, but the smell inside, that’s what matters. And the smell, it’s… well, it’s just plain good. Makes you feel like you can take on the world, even if you’re just goin’ to the grocery store. So, if you’re lookin’ for a new perfume, give this Catherine Malandrino Transcendent a try. You might just like it. I do.
It’s a good everyday kind of smell, not too strong, not too weak, just right. And that, my friends, is what makes a good perfume. So, go on now, treat yourself. You deserve it.
