Smells like palo santo with a citrusy touch like lime, some sandalwood and oriental woods like incense. It’s very exotic, elegant and mysterious… but it lasts very little and is quite subtle. A rare scent, though pleasant and addictive. I see it for men over 25 or women over 40, a real find.
Palo santo with a citrus twist reminiscent of cedar and oriental woods; it smells exotic, elegant, and almost mysterious. The downside is that it lasts very little and is quite faint, but it is a rare and addictive scent. Ideal for men aged 25+ or women aged 40+, a genuine find.
At first, it smells fresh and rich, but after 15 minutes it shifts to woody notes (I didn’t detect the amber) as the white flowers try to maintain the freshness. To me, it sounds more like a night perfume. I detect the base the same as in Viktor and Rolf’s Good Luck. It performs well on my skin and is interesting for the price (lasting around 4 to 6 hours).
Starts super fresh and rich, but after 15 minutes it shifts to woods (I didn’t notice the amber) and the white flowers try to save the freshness, though I see this more as a night scent. The base smells just like Viktor&Rolf’s Good Luck. It lasts well on my skin, interesting value for the price (around 4 to 6 hours).
Sounds original and ideal for everyday wear, because using Dior or Mugler all the time these days feels a bit much. It’s feminine and perhaps stays closer to the skin; it’s pleasant on me today and doesn’t overwhelm people, plus I can wear it to bed.
I find it original for everyday wear; using a Dior or Mugler every day nowadays is a bit of a hassle. It is feminine and perhaps suits the skin better; today it is pleasant without being overpowering, and I even use it to sleep in.
A gorgeous, sweet citrus scent, even if the bottle doesn’t quite take my fancy. The projection lasts about four hours. It smells like a flirty yet elegant woman in a suit. I feel Shakira’s perfumes adapt to her life stages: the earlier sweet and tender ones now smell like an empowered woman from her Dance collection.
A beautiful, sweet citrus. The bottle doesn’t quite convince me, but the projection lasts up to 4 hours. It smells of a coquettish and elegant woman in a suit. I feel that Shakira’s perfumes evolve with her: previously sweet and childish, now empowered from her Dance collection.
Red, a hybrid of many recurring scents: it has the DNA of JPG’s Scandal with touches of YSL’s Black Opium and the juicy fruity part of Cacharel’s Amor Amor. It is very feminine, but nothing novel to me. The skin projection lasts a while, surpassing 2 hours.
It smells of sugared lemon, with sweet white floral notes of ylang-ylang, a pinch of blackcurrant, and a clean soapy touch which I suppose comes from ambergris, plus a tiny hint of wood and spice. There is something about it that makes me smell my wrist over and over again; I like it.
It leaves me indifferent. It is warm, spaced-out, and sweet. I think the cardamomo just wasn’t for me. It lacks something memorable that would make me need it. It is not ugly, but the spicy touch is tiring and heavy.
Much lemon, some blackcurrant, and an amber hint. It results in a soapy, very clean smell (like Adolfo Domínguez Terracota Musk). It can be worn in summer for that fresh sensation. I had to edit the review because on my skin it lasts quite a bit. But… I miss the ‘Shakira’ signature, which should explode. The packaging is beautiful and the price is good. I’m not sure if I would buy it based on taste.
Terrible. I tried it in the store, not on my skin, but I would have wished to smell more raspberry, pink pepper, ylang-ylang, and cedar. It had a white floral smell that was too strong; I don’t know if narcissus, but it smelled very bad; the lemon made it more acidic and bitter, like juice that stings your nose with flowers. I would not buy it.
Terrible. I tried it in the shop, not on skin, and I would have liked to smell more of the raspberry, pink pepper, ylang-ylang and cedar, but it had a brutal white flower smell. I’m not sure if they were narcissus, but it smelled awful. The lemon made it sour and bitter, not like the sweet rind, but like the juice that stings your nose with the flowers. I wouldn’t buy it.
After 10 sprays, I expected to smell something more than raspberry water and perceived nothing else. Furthermore, after 5 minutes it began to oxidise on my skin. A lot of note talk with no result. Fatal.
