It was the substitute for Esika Images when I ran out. Very ladylike, very powdery, and I think that’s what I liked about its low price. I loved it because I’ve always wanted ‘lady’ perfumes; for me, they equal elegance, even though I wore it in my 20s.
This was my go-to substitute for Esika Images when I ran out. Very ladylike and powdery, and I think that’s what I liked about it given the low price. I adored it because I’ve always wanted ‘lady’ perfumes; for me, they equal elegance, even though I wore it in my 20s.
My mother had that perfume, and yes, it’s very strong and long-lasting. Personally, it gives me the feeling of a formal lady, but it’s not my type of fragrance.
I owned this for a while until my mom couldn’t handle the strong alcohol hit right after spraying, so she gifted it to me. It’s true, the initial burst is pure alcohol, but within seconds it settles into an intense, comforting jasmine with a clean feel. Half an hour later, the lily emerges with a pleasant talc-like base. It’s one of the few simple scents I’ve loved for that cleanliness and wearability; it has good projection, perfect for work or semi-formal occasions. Too bad it doesn’t last as long.
