Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I tried it on my sister-in-law’s recommendation, and if a woman wears it, it’s a hit: a sweet opening that explodes into an intense floral with fruity notes within seconds. You can detect the pepper amongst the flowers. Within minutes, it becomes a floral bomb that smells absolutely delicious.
I loved it: a sweet opening that transforms into floral over time. It lasts incredibly long on the skin and has great projection. If you like very sweet perfumes, this is your perfume and it will last all day.
I bought it recently and didn’t like it at all. The bottle looks nice in the photos, but physically the quality is terrible. The scent seems nice but smells like a cheap $5 or $7 perfume. It feels very low quality. I wouldn’t recommend it, I’m sorry.
I bought this recently and it completely let me down. The bottle looks great in the photos, but in person the quality is dreadful. The scent sounds lovely in the description, but it smells like a poor-quality €5 or €7 perfume. It feels very cheap and I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m sorry.
It didn’t really convince me. It sprays with a lot of alcohol, but once it dries down it’s soft and not unpleasant. I just expected more and it bears no resemblance to La Vie Est Belle at all.
I bought it blindly because I read it was similar to La Vie Est Belle, and believe me, nothing to do with it. I didn’t like it, I don’t feel anything sweet about it, and I wouldn’t buy it again.
I’m still giving it a chance; I might edit my review later. It arrived recently but I haven’t liked it much. I feel it’s not a defined scent, as if they didn’t know what they were looking for when creating it. I’ve had this happen with other fragrances that all end up smelling the same. If I find it more intense, perhaps that’s why I like it less, but I’ll keep testing it. I’m not one to give up at the first try. Edit: I use it to scent my shoes… (I think my opinion is clear)
I see no one has commented on this. Armaf is a lesser-known brand in many countries but makes quality perfumes with good longevity. I own three from this house; most are dupes like Club de Nuit (similar to Coco Mademoiselle) and this one is a dupe of La Vie Est Belle. They share similar notes, though not identical. This is a toned-down version of LVEB with a citrus opening that doesn’t seem like much at first, but once it dries down it smells very similar to LVEB without that penetrating sweet note. If you can get your hands on it, I recommend trying it: for the price, it’s a bargain. In Mexico, it costs 600 pesos compared to 1700 for LVEB. Just don’t expect the longevity of LVEB; you’ll smell this for a maximum of about six hours, but it’s not bad at all.
