This doesn’t smell strange at all, unlike the previous review. It’s all clear: potent resins and white flowers with a tropical touch of tiaré. Barely sweet, it’s floral and resinous. Very much of its time, with the style of the original Dior Addict and similar scents that are now seen as cloying, plus a few hints of the nineties. It’s like adding a heap of white flowers to Yves Rocher’s Accord Chic. Elegant and exuberant, nocturnal. I believe it’s unisex; a man could certainly use it. A very good blind buy in terms of quality and price if you like this type of perfume.
Nothing as strange as some people say. In fact, it smells of potent white resins and flowers, with a tropical touch of tiaré. It’s hardly sweet, more floral and resinous. Very much of its time, evoking the vibe of the original Dior Addict and similar scents that are now seen as cloying, with a few hints of the nineties. It’s like adding a heap of white flowers to Yves Rocher’s Accord Chic. Elegant, exuberant and nocturnal. I’d say it’s unisex; a man could certainly wear it. A very good blind buy for the quality and price if you enjoy this style.
This smells incredibly strange. I bought it blind because I fancy trying unusual things. I picked it up at a good price at my usual shop and the notes on Fragrantica look promising. The opening is brutal for me: very strong and medicinal. After twenty minutes it softens and the white florals emerge; it dries down beautifully, but I see it more for women over 45. Although perfumes don’t have an age, this is so clogged and balsamic that I think it suits someone older; nothing youthful, it feels complex and intense. I’m not sure if it’s for day or night, or quite what it’s really for.
