Mademoiselle
I discovered it through a sample, and upon wearing it, it smells remarkably like Les Montres de Luna by Nina Ricci; curiously, they share no common notes, yet to my nose they are identical. Clever is a simple, sweet, and fruity fragrance with a candy-like scent: without wasting time or beating around the bush, if you enjoy sweet and syrupy scents, this is a total hit.

I find it very amusing; I adore sweet perfumes, but I prefer the sweetness to be soft rather than overwhelming or intoxicating, as many gourmands give me dizziness, nausea, and headaches. With this one, it never happens. I enjoy it, though I recommend it more for young girls aged 15 to their early twenties, perhaps up to 25. It smells like a fruit shop: fresh fruit and marshmallows freshly taken out of their packaging with that powdery texture that I love. The floral presence is subtle but not unnoticed. It makes a good gift for teenage daughters and those just starting their twenties; if they like sweet, fruity, and gourmand aromas, this is the one, regardless of age. For me, it is the lighter and more versatile version of Flowerbomb and Bon Bon.
