  1. I’d buy it right now with my eyes closed! What a rich, fresh, and characterful scent, especially considering it was aimed at a younger audience. I used countless bottles; my mother would buy them for me because she knew I adored it. I should have saved a little bit and kept the last bottle, even if just to smell it occasionally… but of course, I didn’t know it would disappear 😛 I’ll always remember it with joy (please: bring it back!!). Edit: I’ve finally got my hands on a bottle, how happy I am 🎉🧩

  3. Oh… I wish those 90s fragrances would return. They smelled so good! Puzzle was my first cologne. I remember it with great affection and loved it, although for my childish nose it was a bit sharp. Very citrusy with slightly musky notes.

  5. The colognes of the 90s were wonders of great quality. Those from Eau Jeune, Chanson, Zapping, Puzzle 🧩… Fresh, cheerful, and youthful. Come back!!

  6. Please let the 90s colognes return!!! These were truly fresh and pleasant for everyday wear… Zapping, Puzzle, Salt and Pepper, all the Dana ones… I’d swap them with my eyes closed for the ‘bunny singer’ scents etc…

  7. What memories with this cologne, citrusy and soft. What a pity it’s no longer sold.

  8. Ahhh :'( Where can I buy it in Mexico? I bought it at Christmas in a shopping centre and I loved it. I was 16 years old… I want it!

  9. Finally found it; I bought this perfume blindly when I first acquired it. It takes me back to when I was a teenager. I want it again, even though I haven’t used more than one fragrance in years 😉
