    Smells like cider, haha, but it’s a classic that works well. It has that mix of sophistication and fruity freshness, with a slight sweetness that doesn’t make it gourmand. Of the three versions, this one has more punch and energy, and the best part is it lasts, which is rare for such an affordable perfume.

  2. What a shame about the previous comment, it’s a pity. For me, it’s pure elegance, a perfumery classic. Imagine a cultured, high-status woman, sober and intellectual. It’s floral and I love it; perhaps a bit old school, but it suits my wife to perfection; it projects very well and she’s never surprised by it.

  3. I bought the gift box with Coral, Purple and Woman. Woman smells awful, like dried urine with vinegar flowers. I’m not exaggerating, it’s real; I’ve told everyone and they’ve all made the same face of disgust. At least it comes in 30ml. The other two, Coral and Purple, smell great and I took them for my girlfriend.

    Smells green, very strong, herbal and deep. It’s like freshly cut grass, crushed leaves and hay soap. Totally winter.

    An American classic, my sister-in-law’s fragrance (I’ll be her supplier for life). Smells good, unpretentious, sometimes strong but never lets you down. It’s a universal basic that people like, although whoever wears it turns it into an achievement. It’s an elixir with floral and woody notes that captures an eternal essence. Ideal for making an unforgettable impression thanks to its balance.

  6. I’ve worn it a few times; it smells freshly washed, clean and without any fuss. Very affordable price, perfect for the gym and having a pleasant scent.

  7. I like it, though it is a bit cool. It’s one of those that takes time to reveal its potential. Smells clean, not soapy, giving a sense of tidiness. I bought a small bottle I haven’t quite finished; this ethereal, cottony scent is starting to bore me. I won’t repurchase; I’ll move on to others when I finish it.

  8. I love it because it projects well on the skin and lasts all day. The opening is strong, so I apply very little to avoid it being cloying; two sprays are enough. At first I detect the melon and citrus, then it becomes aquatic and fresh, probably due to the lilies. I don’t sense the vanilla. I like that a perfume can be noticed and leave a room impregnated, though that’s why many dislike it. If I want to smell super fresh, clean and like that all day, I use my Perry Ellis 360.

    My wife loves it, but to me it feels more suited to women over 25. It lasts about six hours on the skin and leaves the room perfumed for a good while.

  10. It’s a fragrance that isn’t bad, but it doesn’t quite convince me. I feel it is very old-fashioned and dated; it didn’t make me feel comfortable. Moreover, in the daytime heat, I found it overpowering and it gave me a headache. Not recommended at all.

  11. Hello everyone on Fragrantica. I’ve been holding a theory for years: to fragrances that are exquisite, unique, and affordable, there are always people who just want to bring them down. They say absurd or even lewd things, like they smell like old age, when it’s the exact opposite. I think in their world, they believe that by discrediting a gem, they make people avoid wearing it, so they feel special with their own style. But do you know what? That doesn’t exist. It’s impossible! Especially with a masterpiece like this and its creator. Taste transcends genres and we respect everyone’s opinion, but beyond not liking it, they should be polite and not make transgressive comments. In the end, it’s absurd to think this takes away my chance to try it. Ignore them, try everything that intrigues you, and form your own opinion. Enjoy it! 😍😍😍

  12. I bought it due to the good reviews but it doesn’t quite convince me. The first time I smelled it, I thought it was off; for almost an hour, I sensed overripe melon, sweet and very stale, which found me repulsive. After that time, that unpleasant scent diminished and the sweetness and flowers remained for about six hours, becoming something exquisite. I think the key is the quantity: a light puff makes it pleasant, but if you apply more, the opposite happens.

    It was one of the perfumes I used at university; it didn’t matter the occasion, whenever I felt like it, I sprayed several times and felt regal (at the time I knew nothing about perfumes and this has always been popular). It’s a lovely scent, citrusy and slightly floral. I detected the melon note strongly with the tangerine orange at the start, then it faded, leaving the earthy vetiver with vanilla. It lasted about seven hours on my skin and several days on clothes.

  14. I just smelled it because my mum has a sample and oh dear, I don’t know if its scent has changed over the years (I want to think that’s why) but it seems lovely, yet at the same time fetid and bizarre. It saddens me because it’s a fragrance my mum loves, and as we have similar tastes, I thought I would too. At first, it seemed delicious, but after a while, it smelled like perfumed hearts with saliva; I love the smell of those hearts but I don’t know which note makes it smell like that. I think it’s the vetiver because I’ve never used a perfume with this note; I’m not a huge fan of musk anyway, but sometimes that note goes unnoticed when combined with others. It’s a pity because I had high expectations.

  15. Initial note: this is an absolutely undervalued fragrance. Fresh, clean, energetic; that’s the spirit of this fragrance. It achieves an excellent balance between the floral and fruity notes that predominate without invading, and the clean, powdery heart. Without a doubt, a great find. Note: on my skin, the longevity was short and the projection scarce or non-existent; it feels close to the skin but it’s not a fragrance others will notice.

    It’s a unique perfume for me; it doesn’t resemble anything in my collection. It’s timeless, has good sillage and longevity. Every time I wear it, I always receive compliments; people say I smell good, and it’s not invasive. I’ve wanted to buy it for many years and I would buy it ten times more. It smells delicious, like vanilla and sandalwood.

  17. It has a rich scent but its longevity on me wasn’t good, so I won’t buy it again; however, I will try the Coral version to see if it performs better on me. I’m surprised everyone says it has good longevity; I bought it at Falabella so I think it’s original; perhaps I have a reformulated version? It should be clarified that I had the EDT; for the Coral, I will buy the EDP.

  18. It never caught my attention; however, a few days ago a colleague wore it and smelled good. Later, at an event on a cold night, there was a girl with a wonderful aroma; I didn’t know what perfume it was, I was going to ask, but I lost sight of her. The next night I found her again at another event and recognised her by her scent; this time I asked and I couldn’t believe it was this perfume. In the cold, it smells very good and stands out. I had to buy it and I love it; fresh and long-lasting.

  19. In my teenage years, around the 2000s, it was very famous and all the girls wanted to wear it; one of the fragrances of the moment in those days. I bought it remembering that I had liked it very much and it had cost me to get it, but in my adult years it didn’t meet my expectations, especially regarding longevity. I can say that I like its scent; it’s fresh, like freshly cut grass, floral with some sweet touches, perhaps a bit aquatic. I would use it every day for work, going shopping, or informal events. I use the same perfume during the day; I don’t like changing, so I would like it to last longer. Many people say it’s strong, but on my skin after six hours I have to reapply it because I feel I smell nothing; probably it’s my pH. It’s a delicious fragrance.

  20. Definitely, male and female olfactory profiles are sometimes antagonistic. In the reviews, I read that many girls dislike it, but it’s a perfume that fascinates many of us. They complain that it’s strong, that the sillage, vintage, etc., etc. It’s simple; give it a chance on a cold night and you’ll see it’s a resounding success.

    I absolutely adore it! Smells like someone fresh out of the shower with a super clean, crisp soap. It works brilliantly for any occasion: university, the office, day or night.

    I was looking for something I’d like and, honestly, bought it blindly and it didn’t suit me at all. I can’t see what people see in it. I’m now using it to scent the bathroom until the bottle runs dry.

  23. What a horror! I’d have to go outside just to get rid of it, not for pleasure but to finish it off. It smells like very strong, grating soap, and gives the impression of having perfumed something with an unpleasant odour, even though you’ve just had a bath.

  24. I love this perfume; I’ve been using it for over 11 years and, although I own many, I always return to it. It suits any season. It has a powerful trail, lasts a long time, is super cheap and smells very different from everything else. It’s not for everyone, but whoever dares to wear it will turn heads wherever they go.

  25. I was given this and, honestly, I find it a bit heavy; it gives me a headache, so I gave it to my mum and she absolutely loves it.

    For years I didn’t understand it, I couldn’t assimilate it and never grasped it; it smells very strong, like a slap in the face with a bouquet of flowers. Its success was so great that it became ubiquitous and overused, a word we Mexicans use for something so common you see it in every soup. It’s very warm, sweet, elegant and all-rounder, its standout note is melon. Now at 44, it suits me perfectly; it’s a delight. There’s no doubt that the senses sharpen and perspectives change with age. Now I understand it, I embrace it and enjoy it immensely. I bought it and the best thing is they didn’t have the bad taste of reformulating it like they did with many others that went straight to hell.

  27. This perfume has a TRICK: an ex gave it to me many years ago and I couldn’t tolerate it; I thought it was super strong and not very feminine, so I gave it away complete. Later I smelled it on a university lecturer and it suited her perfectly, very soft. I told her about my bad experience and she said: ‘the trick is to put on just a little bit; I use one spray in my hand and distribute it with my finger behind the ears, décolletage and wrists’. I bought a clone that smells quite accurate, in a small version, and tried her advice: indeed, the trick is to put on very little; it still surrounds you but no longer like a slap, but like a fresh, soft, clean embrace. Later I got an original and it continued working with that trick. Now it seems like a classic ‘back of the wardrobe’ fragrance I want to have again. Hopefully someone who rejects it at first will try this.

    I love its scent. It smells clean and lasts a very long time. What a pity it gives me allergies.

  30. Perfume: smells like a wet baby wipe. Toilette: smells more like melon.
