Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
For the price, it’s a hit. Fresh and super citrusy at first, with a moderate or light trail. I’d recommend it for those hot summer afternoons.
It was a blind buy that turned out brilliantly. I’d never tried this brand, which is little-known here in Mexico, but the price was good so I took the plunge. The bottle is very simple, so I wasn’t expecting much, perhaps something akin to a body mist but more refined, and what a surprise! The scent bears a strong resemblance to Chanel’s Allure, which I adore and already own. It opens very citrusy; the bergamot, bitter orange, and a hint of tangerine are clearly noticeable. In the heart, water lily takes precedence, very typical of Allure, and it dries down to that water lily with a soft musk; I don’t detect the myrrh or vetiver. The trail is moderate and the longevity is good on my skin. I wear it before bed and it’s still noticeable the next day, plus it survives a light shower. Although it’s marketed as aquatic, it doesn’t quite feel like it to me; I’d say it’s more youthful, citrusy, and lighter than Allure. If you like Chanel but don’t have much to spare, you can make do with this. I’m now eyeing Byblos Terra and will let you know how that fares.
