  1. At first, the pomegranate and kiwi won me over, thinking it would be something original. It’s a fruity musk scent: the sparkling tangerine blends with the sweetness of the pomegranate and the freshness of the kiwi. Then comes the musky nectarine, giving that creamy, soft sensation. It’s sweet, soft, delicate, cheerful and youthful. Very subtle; it’s a pity that being so delicious, it lasts so little. Ideal for spring and summer. I love Angel Schelesser perfumes because they are fine and elegant, minimalist and simple. The bottle is elegant and chic. The only drawback is its weak longevity.

    Basically, it’s a creamy kiwi, muuuuy soft, with a subtle floral note that I think comes from the sweet pea, as it doesn’t smell of rose. I believe it’s a fragrance that wouldn’t offend anyone’s nose. I’d like to wear it for sporting activities.

    I just smelled it in the shop where I always buy (and save the little scent note) and… it’s absolutely delicious! It’s fruity and light, reminding me of Escada’s Islands collection. Truly a treat!
