  1. It’s a truly rare scent: on the street, hardly anyone else picks it up, perhaps not even you. On my skin, it starts off smelling of very ripe peach, and after 15 minutes, it transforms into a lovely floral note. If you adore peaches and flowers, give it a try; it’s also very affordable. I switch perfumes regularly and have added it to my collection. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

    Nothing like what I expected, and it smells like nothing I recognise. It seems sweet but light, very fruity. Based on the reviews I thought it would be something else, but I did like it. I wouldn’t buy it again when I run out, though it’s a pleasant perfume.

    I can’t detect any resemblance to anything, nor does it remind me of anything. To me, it smells sweet but not overpowering, very fruity. I imagined it differently based on other reviews, but I actually enjoyed it. I won’t repurchase it when I run out, but it is a pleasant fragrance.

    What a horror! It smells like stagnant water in a cemetery, so if you fancy the scent of decomposing flowers in there, this is for you, but I will never buy it again.

  6. RUN AWAY. It smells like rotten cemetery water, so if you enjoy the scent of decomposing flowers, this is for you, but I will never, ever buy it again.

    It must have been reformulated. I bought it again recently, and once it dries down, it smells awful. I’ve known it well since 1997; it was my daily wear. Perhaps it’s my pH nowadays. What a pity; it was something precious to me.

  8. It suits me, but it doesn’t blow my mind. The name promised something warmer, but this smells of fruit and cheerfulness, like peach. It lingers for a while but not forever. It’s neither a disaster nor a masterpiece.

  9. It’s nice, but it doesn’t captivate me. The name promised something warmer, yet it smells fruity and cheerful, like peach. It lasts, but not very long. It’s neither bad nor a great perfume.

  10. Preserved peaches, fresh and youthful—the kind of aroma that gives you energy and lifts your spirits. The longevity and trail are excellent for the price.

  11. I’ve had it as my first perfume and hold it in immense affection because it was a gift from my boyfriend. Since then I’ve loved fruity scents. It fascinates me and puts me in a good mood; it’s sweet, fruity, and that peach note is delicious. The downside is it doesn’t last long and it’s no longer sold in shops, but as it’s cheap and available online, I won’t be tempted to skip buying it again to remember those young days.

  12. I remember this as my first perfume and hold it in great affection because it was a gift from my husband when we were courting. Since then, I’ve loved fruity fragrances. Its scent fascinates me and puts me in a good mood; it’s sweet and fruity, with a peach note that is simply delicious. The drawback is its poor longevity; it lasts very little and is no longer available in perfumeries. However, the good news is that it’s affordable and can be purchased online. I won’t be disappointed to buy it again and relive my youthful days.

  13. What can one say about this masterpiece that has been undervalued solely due to its accessible price? After trying the giants of the perfume industry, I keep choosing Café Café Paris, time and time again. It’s no longer sold in Argentina, but you can find it on Mercado Libre. Its aroma is bohemian yet not vulgar, reminiscent of an autumn rain shower and orange peels, with a fresh playfulness; it smells like a stroll down the avenue of a sleeping city, like the Eiffel Tower. Its scent is unlike any other, truly singular. I simply love it, and if I were a man, he would be my soulmate, my love of life, the air needed every day to smile and feel complete.

    A simple yet lovely scent of sweet peach and little more. Very linear, with good longevity (4-5 hours) and a slightly synthetic feel, with a moderate trail. Simple and unpretentious, ideal for daily use such as going to the supermarket or other tasks that don’t require sophistication, or when you don’t want to use a body mist. It suits a wide age range and daytime wear, very versatile for a young girl going to school or out to the cinema with friends—not for romantic occasions or parties, as it would fall short. Regular quality matching its low price; it could be a safe bet for many, as it’s hard to find someone who dislikes the scent of peach. It’s not the best, but it’s pleasant and adequate.
