Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The bottle looks great with its blue stand, giving it a modern touch. The scent is a hit: at first, the patchouli and raspberry are quite sharp, but then they soften into a delicate strawberry cake note. It smells of makeup and red berries, and it lasts well on the skin.
It’s a good perfume, but it doesn’t quite convince me. Upon application, the peony is noticeable with some fruit, perhaps raspberry. Then it turns sweet, like pastries made by an expert chef. The first 15 minutes are delicious, but afterwards not so much; perhaps the blend of flowers and dessert doesn’t sit well together. I bought it yesterday thinking it was unisex, but it turns out to be very sweet and feminine, so I’m selling it today. The bottle is gorgeous and very futuristic. Be careful, the longevity and sillage are very intense. I’d rate it 7.5/10.
