    What a rollercoaster, neither the worst nor the best. It’s not annoying, but I won’t be buying it again as it’s just not that great.

  2. Feminine, elegant and delicious. One of those perfumes that makes you feel pretty when you go out and everyone compliments you. Very long-lasting and I would buy it again without a doubt.

  3. I wore it daily for almost a year. It evolves and isn’t flat; some compare it to LVEB from Lancôme, but they are nothing alike. It dries to a woody vanilla that is sweet yet elegant. Be careful with the sprays as it lasts over eight hours on clothes, it doesn’t bother anyone and has a moderate but noticeable sillage. It’s discontinued in my country, but if you find it online, buy it blind.

    One of the best perfumes at a low cost. It has luxury-level longevity and sillage. It was my signature for two years. I recommend it blind.

    To me, Sofia is very feminine and elegant. You have to be moderate with going out because it can be strong at first, but on my skin it lasts for hours, even on clothes. I see it for going out at night, very sexy, not for daily wear.

  6. Elegant, sophisticated, formal and extremely sexy. Sillage and longevity are impressive for the price. It’s lovely. I recommend it for people aged 25 and above.

  7. I find it very feminine. I sensed a citrus touch at the start and in the dry down it reminded me of Gabrielle by Chanel, but then it takes its own path with orchid, vanilla and sandalwood, becoming very feminine. Something you will enjoy using because it doesn’t bother and is sensual. It’s not sweet, it’s floral. It can be quite girly and daily without being another one of the same.

  8. I bought it because of the positive reviews and I hate it. Like the previous one, I notice it as a liqueur or juice with lots of patchouli. Cloyingly sweet to the point of being unbearable, I have tried everything and I don’t see the elegance they claim. It smells cheap.

  9. It smells like plum liqueur and after an hour gives way to a bouquet with a woody touch. It’s very heavy, for wearing at night or on cold days. A lovely fragrance, well-executed and long-lasting, but for me too heavy. I removed it from my collection so others can appreciate it elsewhere.

  10. I was curious because I use Love by Sofia and loved it, so I wanted to try Sofia. I can’t perceive the notes, I admit it’s a bit strong and feels unisex, but when it dries it is delicate, feminine and elegant. I don’t understand why they compare it to Vida es Bella or Into the Night by BBW; nothing to do with each other. It is more sophisticated. I use the body mist before deciding to buy it. I think I would buy it, but not for daily wear, but for a special outing, office or dinner. Not for everyday life. I give it an 8, it’s very economical and uncommon.

  11. Absolutely delicious perfume; I’ve been wearing it for years and people always compliment it.

    I can’t quite identify the exact notes, but it has me completely smitten. At first, it smells of sweet fruits with passion fruit, before the amber and patchouli take over without losing that sweetness. It’s a special, elegant, and long-lasting fragrance; it lingers on clothes for several days and has a lovely trail. My favourite elegant perfume. In Colombia, I think there aren’t really any truly affordable perfumes, but the price is very reasonable for what it offers. Simply a gem that I’m delighted to have discovered.

    I can’t pinpoint the notes exactly, but it leaves me spellbound. It opens with sweet fruits like passion fruit, then amber and patchouli take over without losing that sweetness. It’s my favourite: elegant, lasts all day on clothes, and leaves a lovely trail. In Colombia, where cheap perfumes are rare, this is a gem for its price and quality.

    Sofía de Sofía smells cloyingly sweet with patchouli. I bought it thinking it was identical to Coco Mademoiselle, but it wasn’t. I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s overwhelming.

  15. Incredible quality; something citrusy with blackberries and plums that quickly evolves into a sweet, acidic rose. It lasts a long time and leaves a good trail. It doesn’t smell like a celebrity perfume, I love it, and I’m already on my second bottle.

  16. At first, the cheap cologne alcohol is very noticeable. After a few seconds it settles and releases notes reminiscent of Chanel, but after two hours it turns into something dry and less pleasant, luckily barely noticeable because the trail and longevity are very scarce. I won’t be buying it again.

  17. It has an opening with lots of cheap cologne alcohol. After a few seconds it settles and releases notes that do indeed remind me of Chanel. After two hours it becomes a drier, less pleasant scent, but fortunately it’s barely perceptible because its trail and longevity are very scarce. I won’t be buying it again.

    I obtained a sample at the perfumerie, tried it, and its opening was like a punch of something that smells to me of synthetic pineapple or grapefruit, like cheap men’s cologne (it smells exactly like a Miniso Christmas edition hand cream with pineapple). This spicy, stinging aroma persists and won’t go away; I washed my arm and it went down a bit, but it still hasn’t disappeared. It seems like an aggressive scent.

    I tried it as a tester and the opening was a punch: it smells like synthetic pineapple or grapefruit, like a cheap men’s cologne or that Miniso Christmas pineapple hand cream. The spicy, stinging scent persists; I washed my arm and it’s still there. It seems aggressive.

  20. Surprise! It lasts and has a decent trail, not too much but noticeable. It’s not super original or impactful, but it’s been a pleasant surprise for the price and because it’s a celebrity brand.

  21. Blind buy based on reviews and a huge letdown. It has neither the longevity nor the trail I expected. The only thing I notice all the time is that grating violet note. I can’t find any resemblance to another perfume and certainly won’t be buying it again.

  22. It joined my collection after waiting weeks because it’s not sold here. First impression: delicious, elegant and soft. I have a bad pH balance, so we’ll see if it surprises me. I applied it at 2:30 pm in summer. Update: unfortunately it lasts nothing, only an hour on the skin. It smells good but I have to reapply constantly. I’ll blame my pH.

  23. It arrived in my collection today; it’s not sold here so I had to wait a couple of weeks, but it’s finally here. My first impression is that it’s delicious, elegant and soft. I have very acidic skin, so we’ll see if it surprises me. I applied it at 2:30 pm in the height of summer. Update: unfortunately, it doesn’t last at all; I think only an hour on the skin. The scent is lovely, but I have to reapply it constantly for it to be noticeable. I’ll blame my pH.

    Bought this after reading all the good things about its longevity and performance. It’s super fruity, sparkling and youthful; just the perfect middle ground between Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle. The dry down is sweet and light, ideal for winter by the fireside with a hot coffee. Very nice, excellent price, I’d buy it again without hesitation.

    I absolutely love this perfume! It’s a gem for scent and price. On my skin it creates a delicious contrast, ambered with sweet vanilla. It seems youthful, versatile and elegant. I’d use it for dates, work, coffee, cold or heat (taking care with the sprays). The trail and longevity are moderate, but for the price and scent it’s excellent. I love it, I can’t say anything more.

    Sofía reminds me so much of Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme. It’s sweet yet elegant, and it’s one of my favourite perfumes for going to work because it lasts well on skin and clothes. It’s excellent for gifting if someone likes long-lasting perfumes. I would buy it again and might even get a refill.

    What a lovely perfume, I think I’ll be buying it again, it’s become one of my favourites. It’s very delicious, never stops sillage-ing my arm. The only thing I feel it lacks is longevity on me, but I don’t mind replicating it.

    Sofia reminds me so much of Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme. It’s sweet yet elegant, one of my favourites for work due to its good longevity on skin and clothes. Excellent for gifting if someone likes fragrances that last. I’d buy it again and would even get a refill.

  29. A delicious and very sexy fragrance, very similar to Coco Mademoiselle but less citrusy and, in my opinion, sexier.

    A fragrance of good quality, and considering its price, even better! Good projection and performance; versatile and elegant (though I wouldn’t say sophisticated). It has a sweet fruity opening with plum, not as youthful as celebrity scents, which then dries down to a light rose with sandalwood and vanilla. I’d say it has a Coco Mademoiselle vibe in the dry down due to that touch of rose, wood and vanilla, but this is much sweeter and less fresh.
