I tried it in my twenties and it’s super sensual and exotic, smelling of juicy plum, patchouli and amber orchid. It’s cheap and very rich, youthful and perfect for a date or something like that.
I picked this up in my mid-twenties and it’s incredibly sensual and exotic; it smells of juicy plum, patchouli and orchid with an amber twist. It’s cheap, very nice, youthful, perfect for going out or a date.
The opening is very fruity, sweet and tropical fruits without being overpowering. They blend well with the patchouli and orchid, which stand out above the rest. Very pleasant; I think I prefer it to Heat and the other flankers.
It starts very fruity, with sweet tropical fruits without being heavy. They blend wonderfully with the patchouli and orchid, which stand out above the rest. Very pleasant to wear; I think I prefer it to Heat and the other flankers.
Smells exactly like Kriska Drama: patchouli and sweet fruits. Quite good for the price.
Strangely sensual aroma, without being a nose-ender. At first you note the sweetness and acidity of the plums and the tropical notes, then it dries down to a warm, sensual and very clean scent thanks to the orchids. I’d describe it as sober. I wear it at night in cold environments. Its longevity and trail are moderate, but I accept that well given its economy price; I can’t ask for more.
Strangely sensual aroma, without hitting the nose. At first you note the sweetness and acidity of the plums with tropical touches, then it dries down to a scent evoking warmth, sensuality and cleanliness thanks to the orchids. I’d describe it as sober. I wear it more at night in cold environments. Its longevity and trail are moderate, which I accept well given its economy price; I can’t ask for more.
If you’re looking for something sensual, provocative and eccentric without being brutal, this is it. I compare it to Mugler’s Angel, but less potent, less long-lasting and fresher. If you love patchouli, it’s a winning purchase and the price is accessible. It opens fresh and sweet, intoxicating due to the patchouli; it’s elegant and sexy without being as provocative as Angel, with a similar structure. The longevity is moderate: strong at the start and fades over time. It’s a complex scent due to the patchouli, an acquired taste, but it’s worth trying. If you love it as much as I do, I find it weak, but it’s fine for everyday wear.

If you love patchouli, it’s a winning purchase; the price is accessible and gives it a special touch. The opening is fresh, sweet and intoxicating; the patchouli makes it elegant and sexy without being as provocative as Angel. The longevity is moderate: strong at the start and fades over time. It’s a complicated scent because the patchouli dominates, it’s an acquired taste, but it’s worth trying. If you love patchouli as much as I find it weak, but it’s fine for everyday wear.
A super sexy scent, ideal for night. It has a ‘purple’ touch with exotic fruits, plums and flowers, mixed with the sweetness of amber and patchouli and a woody base from the sandalwood. It’s nocturnal, sexy and exotic.
The scent is nice, but it resembles home air freshener fragrances too much.
