I see a lot of comparisons to White Citrus (specifically the non-Men's version which is different), but I think that is quite a bit zestier and drier than this. The "salty" note comes off a bit ozonic which I don't love. This has moments of being something a bit more special than straight citrus, but it keeps going back to being lemon Pledge-adjacent (though not overwhelmingly so). For that alone, it's a pass from me.
Ho comprato questo pensando avesse anche il pisello dolce (come il Pleats Please originale), ma non ce n'è. È una rosa molto fresca/verde/pulita che sembra quasi erbosa (sono sorpreso che non sia una delle note). Non percepisco il pepe rosa, ma c'è un accenno di neroli pulito. Diventa rapidamente una fragranza da pelle. Il muschio sembra essere l'unica nota di base a farsi notare. Svanisce molto rapidamente. Abbastanza lineare e noioso. La nota verde non è affilata di per sé, ma ha una qualità un po' piccante che può stancare nel tempo (persiste per tutta la durata).
A syrupy, heavier floral that is rather artificial. Wishing the freshness of the sweet pea wasn't so drowned out by these elements. I would have liked to see a fresher pear note and a lighter touch on the indole/vanilla. That said, it's not horrible, but is maybe only marginally more special than a lot of fruitchouli florals available. Has substantial, but not beast mode sillage.
Very sweet plasticky strawberry up top with signature BBW peony in the background. Morphs into straight baby aspirin. A weirdly nostalgic scent in that respect, but this is too gruesome to wear.
A fairly straightforward and mostly linear offering. I love seeing a cherry fragrance that isn't weighed down with things like almond, marzipan, and/or heliotrope. The cherry here is a bit deeper without being heavy or syrupy and reminds me greatly of the cherry note in L'Occitane Cerisier Rouge (which is divine!) It's really delightful until the midpoint where I would have sworn it was a saffron note and not Haitian vetiver (for reference, I'm extremely anti-saffron/leathery notes). This saffronic element is not as harsh as some others I have come across, but it's just evident enough to be distracting and slightly nose turning. Once this fades, the musky drydown is rather muted and becomes a skin scent. Overall, I think this is a respectable fragrance that was maybe priced a little higher than it should have been for Avon, but is definitely of better quality than their standard fare. Discontinued now and getting harder to find.
Note dal sito Diptyque: La leggera nebbia di Eau Plurielle evoca il profumo di un lenzuolo fresco steso su un letto di EDERA e ROSE provenienti dalla Turchia.
This is a bait and switch fragrance. The tiare/jasmine combo make only a brief appearance before the heliotrope takes over completely. Can't say I've picked up on any of the other notes. If you like powdery/almondy fragrances, then this may be for you, but I personally despise heliotrope. I agree with others that this has surprising longevity for a purported cologne.
Sadly, this was discontinued then brought back/reformulated. It's quite flat compared to the original. The OG was much deeper and rich. 2.0 just seems watered down and generic fruity. Seems to have less of the rum/wood elements that gave it depth.
This smells exactly like Aussie hair spray to me
For those who are picking up leather/suede/saffronic notes, this is likely coming from the osmanthus which can either go fruity/creamy or leathery. I have not tried Sakura, but I HAVE tried OJ Osmanthus, and her interpretation does go the leathery route.
