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.
Comprei isso assumindo que também tinha ervilha-doce (como o OG Pleats Please), mas não tem nenhuma. É uma rosa muito fresca/verde/límpida que parece quase gramada (surpreendido que isso não seja uma das notas). Não percebo a pimenta rosa, mas há um toque de neroli limpo. Torna-se uma fragrância de pele rapidamente. O almíscar parece ser a única nota de base a se mostrar. Um desvanecimento muito rápido. Bastante linear e entediante. A nota verde não é aguda por si só, mas tem uma qualidade um pouco cítrica que pode se tornar cansativa com o tempo (ela persiste durante toda a fragrância).
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.
Notas segundo o site da Diptyque: A leve névoa de Eau Plurielle evoca o aroma de um lençol fresco colocado sobre uma cama de HERAS e ROSAS da Turquia.
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.
