    Fresh and sweet, yet calm. I bought it on sale in 2014 and absolutely loved it, although they no longer manufacture it, what a pity. If anyone has any sealed or partially used bottles, I’m interested; I’m from Argentina.

    I’ve adored it for years, but here in Argentina they stopped producing it and I can’t find it anymore. At first, it smells of pomegranate and strawberry, super fruity and delicious, then the base musk emerges. Everyone praised it!

    I love it for summer in the city where it gets very hot. It’s fresh, clean, floral, citrusy, with an almost imperceptible fruity touch. I bought it at duty free without much enthusiasm and ended up loving it; people always ask what I’m wearing. It smells very natural and lasts about 6 to 8 hours on the skin.

  4. Moschino has always been irreverent. The Cheap and Chic line started in 1995 with a funny bottle inspired by Olivia, Popeye’s wife. It was a great perfume, although later several derivatives appeared, some irrelevant and others popular like I Love Love, which was a wonderful summer scent very similar to Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue. This ‘Chic Petals’ is one of my favourites: another delightful summer scent where pomegranate is the star, juicy, red and fresh from the start, accompanied by wild strawberry which gives it more fruity character than floral (at one point I thought it had lychee), but the water lily adds that aquatic floral touch. The fruits aren’t cloying or heavy; they have that perfectly balanced note for day or summer. As time passes, delicate floral notes like gardenia and orchids emerge, along with ginger and musk that make it sparkling, finishing with Italian iris and cypress for a clean air. Its drawback is that it doesn’t last long in the heat, but if applied generously or on clothes, it lasts longer.

  5. In the 90s I used Clinique’s Happy and had a watery note I didn’t like much. Smelling this perfume reminded me of that scent, but softer and more pleasant. It’s wearable, ideal for daytime, fresh and perfect for work because its trail is short and it doesn’t last long on my skin, but that’s normal for me.

    I bought it for summer for its fruity notes and fresh aroma. I think it’s lovely and fun, with the typical Moschino imprint, but I wouldn’t buy it again. On my skin it lasts very little and is super soft, disappearing quickly. I must mention the bottle which is gorgeous, but it didn’t convince me.

    Rich and fresh, but not my favourite. For a moment it smells of soap and lasts very little. That said, I absolutely love the little bottle!

    I loved it! It lasts a long time on clothes, although it’s also good on the skin. I would buy it again, yes.

  9. giselistica

    Of the fresh and aquatic flankers, this is the best, the least synthetic, feminine, and summery. It smells of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and water lily. It’s not cloying, it’s very fine. The classic Cheap makes me gag, this is more bearable.

    Fresh, floral and watery. Of the flankers, it seems to me the best, the least synthetic, feminine and summery. It smells of wild strawberry, pomegranate and water lily. It’s not cloying; it’s very feminine and refined. The classic Cheap feels overwhelming to me; this one is actually wearable.

    I’m between yes and no. I’d say it passes with a 6. It’s not bad, but I wouldn’t buy it. On my skin it lasted little, about 3 hours.

  12. karenyave

    What a lovely fragrance, I loved it. It’s a fruity blend with a soft floral touch, and I who had so much fear of the ‘petals’ thing, feel the packaging fits the aroma perfectly, conveying softness and tenderness. Tranquillity, what a handsome scent, and that despite having a phobia of Moschino scents.

    What a lovely fragrance, I absolutely adored it. It’s a blend of fruity notes with a soft floral touch, and I, who was so scared by the name ‘Petals’, feel the bottle matches the scent perfectly, conveying softness and tenderness. Total tranquillity, what a beautiful smell, even though I used to be terrified of Moschino fragrances.

    As others said, the ginger overwhelms it; it doesn’t blend with the rest. As soon as you put it on, it smells like a fairly standard floral/fruity scent, but the ginger note stands apart, not mixed… it’s strange because it doesn’t even smell like fresh ginger, but rather stale ginger biscuits, and that scent dominates for the first few minutes. Fortunately, later the floral notes remain and you can appreciate some of the classic Cheap & Chic.

  16. As said before, the ginger ruins it; it doesn’t blend. As soon as you put it on, it smells like standard floral/fruity and the ginger scent is separate, not mixed… it’s strange because it doesn’t smell like fresh ginger, but like stale ginger biscuits from a tin, and that scent dominates at the start. Luckily it fades later and you notice something of the classic Cheap and Chic.

    I tried it and found it very fresh and fruity… I detect plenty of red berries, especially raspberry… I hope to buy it so I can write a better review.

  18. I must be odd, but I’ve tried this fragrance several times in different places and I’m the only one who doesn’t pick up any fruity notes. I tried it following the reviews, which describe it as a sparkling scent, but to me, it smells (with all due respect) of stale or aged notes. Quite disappointed.

  19. What a beautiful perfume! I was gifted a miniature and I like that it’s floral, delicate, and sweet. I love applying it after a bath at night; it gives me that touch of tranquillity and freshness. It is true that it’s for spring and summer. Its trail is moderate, and if I wear it at night, by the next day it’s already faint on my skin.

    It smells like strawberries with cream, pomegranate seeds, and a touch of ginger. At first it’s strong, but softens after ten minutes. It’s good for 15 to 20-year-olds; it’s decent but not my favourite. If you don’t hug someone, they won’t notice the scent. The bottle is beautiful.

    I detect a scent of strawberries with cream, pomegranate seeds, and a hint of ginger. At first, it’s strong, but after 10 minutes it softens. It’s suitable for ages 15 to 20; it’s good but not my favourite. If you don’t hug, people won’t sense your scent. The bottle is gorgeous.

    It’s not cloying, not at all. It’s not sweet either, nothing like the reviews detailed earlier.

  25. Too youthful for me, but I liked it a lot; it’s very floral but ends with a light, slightly sugary touch. I have no complaints; I recommend it for fun young girls. It’s ideal for daytime.

  26. Mademoiselle

    The bottle and packaging match the scent perfectly: cheerful, relaxed, fun, flirtatious, feminine, and spring-like. It’s more fruity than floral, with strawberries and pomegranate taking the lead, though the floral notes prevent it from being too sweet or cloying; it feels fresh all the time. It finishes with a fine, exquisite woody note. Moderate sillage, lasting between 6 and 8 hours. Ideal for informal spring and summer wear.
