A beautiful bottle that looks good wherever you place it. However, the scent didn’t suit me at all. I only detect the woody and slightly herbal notes. It seems to be unisex. I tried to give it away, but no one liked it either. I’ll leave it as a decoration on a shelf.
The bottle is beautiful and looks great anywhere, but the scent didn’t convince me. I only detect wood and a herbal touch; it even seems unisex. I tried giving it away, but no one liked it, so I’ve left it as a decoration on a shelf.
It’s a rich, modern and fresh scent. There is a woodier version, but this one shines for its freshness. Initially it projects well, then it fades to leave a trail of mango and flowers that becomes almost imperceptible on the skin after a few hours. Pleasant and 100% fresh.
It smells lovely, modern and fresh. There’s a similar one that’s more woody, but this feels fresher. It projects well at first, then fades to a fresh mango-and-floral scent that becomes almost imperceptible on skin after a couple of hours. Still, it’s a very pleasant and fresh smell.
It’s refreshing for daytime, pleasant and lively; however, the longevity isn’t adequate. I understand it given the price, what a pity :(, if they improve the fixative and raise the price, I’d be willing to pay for it :). The formula deserves it.
It’s floral, fruity and woody; the mango gives it a tropical and fresh touch. I detect a spicy note, but there’s a synthetic note in the background I can’t identify; it could be mint, although it’s not listed (though it’s also noted in the US). Personally, I don’t enjoy it; it makes me uncomfortable, I notice spicy and mentholated notes that give me a headache. If you dare, it’s ideal for spring. Longevity and projection are correct for its price.
It’s floral-fruity-woody; the mango gives a tropical and fresh touch. I detect a spicy note, but there’s a synthetic undertone I can’t identify—it might be mint, although it’s not listed (some users in the US notice it). I don’t enjoy it because of that; it makes me uncomfortable, with spicy and mentholated notes that even give me a headache. If you dare, it’s ideal for spring days. Longevity and projection are decent for its affordable price.
It’s pleasant, woody and fruity, very nice. Generic but it doesn’t bother anyone. It’s not a great scent, but it’s fine. Pleasant.
Very pleasant and unobtrusive. Ideal for hot days when you want to smell good without anything heavy. Mango dominates with jasmine and plenty of cedar; I think the tonka bean note adds a lovely touch. The trail is slow and the longevity average, around 4 or 5 hours, which is no bad thing for the price.
It smells lovely and isn’t overpowering, ideal for hot days without being heavy. Mango dominates with jasmine and cedar, giving it a pea-like note that’s actually delicious. The trail is slow and lasts about four or five hours, not bad for the price.
Powdery, floral, soft and feminine scent, with low trail and longevity, suitable for daytime wear. The price matches the quality. I would indeed buy it.
What catches the eye most is the heart-shaped bottle, simple yet beautiful. It smells soft and floral with a hint of wood. I use it for everyday wear and find it pleasant. It doesn’t have a strong trail, but it serves well as a personal fragrance. Longevity is moderate, lasting a good couple of hours, though not all day. I’ve really enjoyed it and keep it among my favourites.
It’s fresh and green, not citrusy. You can detect woods and herbs, perhaps neroli or that odd pea note. The mango persists, but the jasmine, rose, and peony blend well. I sense coconut and cinnamon even though they aren’t listed. The cedar keeps it going at first. On skin it fades faster than on fabric, so I wear it on clothes; it doesn’t stain and lasts longer. Four sprays last four hours, one spray lasts an hour with little trail. The bottle is pretty and youthful, though perfume lovers might not care. I’m 36 and use it for daytime outings, shopping, or doctor visits—not for special evenings. It’s perfect for outdoors in spring or autumn. It’s wearable indoors, neither too sweet nor floral, nor imperceptible. Middle ground. Recommended for ages 15 to 45; it’s youthful, but active older women can use it too if they don’t like deep perfumes.
Smells fresh and green, but not citrusy. Woods and herbs are noticeable, perhaps neroli or tonka bean. The mango is persistent but blended with jasmine, rose and peony, which are hardly distinguishable separately. I also detect coconut and cinnamon, even though they aren’t listed. The first thing you notice is the cedar, which helps the fragrance last. On skin it fades faster than on fabric, so I apply it to clothes; it doesn’t stain and lasts longer. With four sprays it has a moderate trail and lasts about four hours; with just one, it lasts an hour and the trail is minimal. The bottle is pretty and youthful, but perfume lovers don’t care whether it looks young or mature. At 36, I use it for daytime outings, shopping or a visit to the doctor. Not for special evenings, but perfect for outdoors in spring and autumn. It’s wearable indoors, neither too sweet nor floral, nor imperceptible. Average rating. Recommended for ages 15 to 45; it’s versatile, youthful and suitable for active older women who don’t favour heavy perfumes.
I like it, but I prefer the sheer version. This one is sweeter and warmer; I detect a cigar-like scent, which is odd as I don’t smoke and I do like that note. The flowers are very sugary. In short, good value for money, but I wouldn’t buy it again as there are others I like more.
I like it, but prefer the sheer version more. This one is sweeter and warmer, and I detect a tobacco note, which is odd as I don’t smoke, but I enjoy that nuance. The flowers feel very sweet. Anyway, good value for money, but I wouldn’t buy it again as there are others I prefer more.
I love the heart-shaped bottle with its sparkly stones and pendant; the price is fair and it smells fantastic—elegant and up-to-date. The downside is it doesn’t last long and the fixative isn’t top-notch, but of course, I’ll buy it again.
