Smells like baby perfume, very basic with no development. I struggled to find it as it isn’t sold in Spain. It’s rich yet flat, something you’d smell in any children’s EDT. Opens with sweet strawberries, then a very light vanilla note. It lingers on the skin for about two to three hours. No licorice or anise detected. It projects nothing and leaves no trail; on my skin, it’s barely detectable after a couple of hours. Be careful applying it as it stains clothes. It’s for personal enjoyment only.
It has become excessively sweet for me; the anise and licorice notes aren’t to my taste, and this fragrance confirms it. If they were less prominent, it would be a very pleasant scent.
It became excessively sweet for me; anise and licorice aren’t my favourite notes, and this confirms it. If those notes were less prominent, it would be a very pleasant fragrance.
I think the blend of notes is perfect: the precise sweetness, the right amount of spice, and a touch of jasmine. Licorice and anise are always present. The scent is exquisite. My only gripe is that the projection is very soft. If it projected more and lasted longer, it would be flawless.
I’m obsessed with that marshmallow scent; it’s super sweet, but the trail doesn’t convince me and fades in just three or four hours. I expected more from this perfume…
I love the marshmallow scent; it’s sweet, but the trail isn’t good and it lasts only three to four hours on me. I expected more from this perfume…
What a beautiful perfume! Just thinking about it or seeing the little bottle makes my mouth water, and smelling it is even better. It’s very sweet and lovely, fruity without being cloying or too dense. I’d love for it to have more projection; unfortunately, it’s no longer available in Argentina, which is a shame. It reminds me of those favourite blueberry gum pacifiers I used to have, although the notes say strawberry and yes, you can feel it. It’s like an explosion of those rich sweets. This fragrance is a 10.
I bought this on the back of Ultraviolet, but it’s nothing like it! It’s as potent as Paco Rabanne scents and very sweet. Right after application, the red berries are noticeable for just a few seconds, before marshmallow takes centre stage with a spiced base. Over time, the spices fade, leaving the star ingredient. It reminded me of the scent of a jar full of sugar lumps. Cloying 😁
I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE! It’s youthful yet elegant; I usually wear it in autumn because that powdery touch sets it apart from the fresh summer scents. It’s not at all overwhelming, but it is long-lasting. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued…
I absolutely love this fragrance! It’s youthful yet elegant, and I wear it in autumn because that powdery note keeps it distinct from the fresh summer scents. It’s not at all overpowering, but it is long-lasting. Unfortunately, it has already been discontinued.
I bought this for my wife blindfolded, guided only by the composition and the risks that entails. It’s spectacular! It doesn’t smell like anything I’ve ever had before, nor does it resemble Ultraviolet at all. Projection is moderate, though it depends on how you apply it. Don’t be fooled by the notes; this isn’t a perfume for teenagers. What a pity the men’s version is no longer available. I give it a 10/10.
