Fresh and distinct, ideal if you’re looking for something off the beaten path or want to switch up your citrus rotation. Opens with tangerine, an unofficial pepper note, and violet. Then a bitter touch of tomato leaf emerges, which isn’t very noticeable without that detail. As it dries down, it smells soapy and powdery, with violet taking center stage and a marked musk. The trail is soft, lasting about 5 hours. It gives a clean impression; it could be unisex, but the strength of the violet and the subtle projection—or my anosmia—haven’t won me over. Rating: 5/10 across the board, except for value/quality (4/10) and packaging (6.5/10). Won’t be buying again.
No Man’s Chosen! I absolutely loved it, thanks to Cecilia Paz for convincing me to buy it after years of just looking at it. I was afraid it might smell vintage or heavy on vetiver, but nothing could be further from the truth. The economy of its scent is incredible, though I haven’t tested the performance well yet. As Cecilia said: what a feminine thing! It’s a creamy, clean floral, less piercing than Pure Poison, kinder and more smiling. It reminds me of Gucci Bloom and Flora. The neroli smells smooth and sweet, like the Amarilys Belladona flower, with that “honeyed” sweetness of frangipani. The violet adds a cosmetic touch. The tomato leaf, which I was scared of after experiences like DKNY, here only gives an aquatic splash effect, like watermelon and clean musk, evoking a pool. It’s not as plastic, but rather stylized, sweet, and fun without being childish, with a sophisticated touch. Surprising: it’s sweet but complex, harmonious, and pleasant. I’ll keep reapplying it. It’s not a common street scent. Suitable for all ages. Surpassed my expectations; it’s clever, playful, and artistic. Edit: yes, it smells like Barbie. As it dries down, the tomato leaf gives an almost imperceptible bitterness, like doll hair in hot water or plastic. It stays delicate, ethereal, between natural and artificial. 💗
What a rich and feminine perfume! It’s a sweet, soft floral, nothing intrusive, perfect for the office without bothering anyone. Yes! It smells like a Barbie doll. Lasts about 5-6 hours on the skin. The atomizer is uncomfortable and doesn’t allow refilling the bottle, so you have to carry it in your bag to reapply, which makes it a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it because it smells so good. I love it. Edit: mixed with Victoria Secret Velvet Petals cream and body mist, it becomes even more irresistible and lasts longer, a true delight.
I bought it because a girl on YouTube recommended it a lot and Fragrantica said it smelled like Barbie. On my nose, no. It could have been acceptable if not for that tomato note (who thought of that?) which breaks the entire harmony. It smells generic, like some shampoo I used once, but with tomato leaf. Poor performance.
I bought it because the notes say it should be dominated by neroli. I tried it today and at first I smell the tomato leaf, then it evolves into freshly cut neroli, leaving a fresh and soft musk. I see it more for office use.
