Strangely, I can hardly smell it. It’s never happened to me before, even though I love this brand so much that I ordered such a wide discovery set. If I concentrate and know I’ve applied it, I notice a faint musk and a hint of vanilla, but almost with my imagination. I’d say that same scent is in another perfume from the house.

It’s strange that I can hardly smell it; this has never happened to me before. I love the brand, which is why I ordered a large discovery set. If I concentrate and am sure I’ve applied it, I detect a faint musk and vanilla, but only with my imagination. I’d say it smells just like another perfume from the brand.

To me, it’s a wonder. Many mention the iris, but honestly, I don’t detect it at all. What it does have is tonnes of clean musk. I’m not sure if it’s a blend of Iso-E, ambrette, or tonalide, but the truth is, it’s a musk perfume with an amber touch and a creamy wood nuance. To those who criticise its performance, I understand but I don’t share that view. Not everything has to be projecting and noticeable. Should it be more noticeable? Yes, but perhaps it wouldn’t smell the same. It’s designed as second skin, an intimate perfume like Not a Perfume or Escentric Molecules, but here the composition goes further. It’s for those who want the scent to seem part of their skin in close proximity and intimacy. It’s clear this isn’t for everyone: if you’re looking for something to make a statement, this isn’t for you. But if you like these fragrances, here’s a work of art that caresses and whispers with tenderness and delicacy.
Coquita
A blend of synthetic musks that feels exactly as such throughout its duration, though it dries down softer and less chemical. It has a strong opening that disappears quickly, then comes and goes for about seven hours. I didn’t like it at all; on my skin it smells like mothballs, and I have to wait a long time for the white musk scent to appear. On the right skin, it’s surely a versatile unisex, but it just didn’t work on me. Pleasant: 4/10 Interesting: 2/10 Versatile: 8/10 Original: 3/10

I just saw it in a 5ml version; it was the first I tried from that house. I find it soapy, slightly sweet and clean. I think that’s the perfumer’s speciality, as she creates several fragrances for Prada, including my favourite from the house, Amber, but this creation hasn’t impressed me, and I don’t think I’d buy it. I can’t speak yet about longevity, but the projection is faint. Overall, I didn’t like it much, though I imagine it will suit someone else; in my case, it didn’t say much to me.

A good job by Daniela Andrier in the line of many perfumes she has done for Prada. It’s a powdery and sweet scent, very soft and elegant. You can tell it’s good quality. It could be unisex, though due to the softness I perceive it as more feminine. The longevity isn’t bad, but the scent is very subtle and the projection very faint. I like it and it seems a very delicate and well-crafted iris, though it also seems like a scent already seen. Scent: 8.5 Longevity: 7.5 Projection: 6 Value for money: 5 Versatility: 9 Originality: 5 Overall: 8
