    Caramelized and powdery scent, ideal in fall for everyday wear and such a real pleasure smelling of talcum powder and candies you keep jealously haha, it’s a delight and besides its bottle is spectacular and eye-catching

  2. Enzo.patchouli

    It smells creamy to me, but like churros. Flowers come out and dry down to freshly made churros. It smells like a churro shop, I can’t find any other scent in this fragrance in the dry down.

  3. Raphael.sauge

    The bottle is a beauty, a work of art. The fragrance is sweet, soft, easy to wear. Its notes are very well balanced. I love it! Excellent price!

  4. Powdery, I love it… For me it’s not sweet, I think the flowers stand out, especially violet, it’s something super nostalgic, it reminds me of children’s colognes. Ideal for any season, climate, age and casual occasion. Soft and pretty, not at all overwhelming or pretentious, rather delicate and even naive. Like most people, I bought this EDT because of the little pink skull, and I expected something tougher, because of the tattoos, but thinking about it, the image and the fragrance match perfectly, because it’s as delicate as the pink of the skull and the roses that decorate it. Price, whoooaaa great. The bad thing, as expected for an EDT, is that performance is poor, close to the skin I perceive it for several hours, but no sillage. However, I would buy it again a thousand times, because it’s a safe bet for those relaxing days.

  5. This perfume is super sweet. But it’s not the typical caramel, vanilla sweet. It’s another type of sweet and this smell comes from maple sap and also apple blossom adds something floral. It’s fluffy, creamy, sweet. It’s inoffensive. It doesn’t have much longevity, nor big sillage. If you want a good, pretty and cheap perfume that stands out in sweetness from the other thousands of perfumes out there, this is for you. Quite versatile and affordable. Perfect for everyday.

  6. Body butter type fragrance, very creamy, somewhat sweet, very fluffy and intimate, and when I say intimate I mean very close to the skin, it doesn’t project, nor does it last. I’ve had it for more than 2 years, and I can assure you that maceration doesn’t apply to all perfumes. It’s very cheap but I think it’s not worth it if you want your perfume to be noticed, even just a little.

  7. It reminds me of a cologne they gave me when I was a little girl and I think they still sell it here in Chile from the Gelatti brand called Spring. It’s a nice scent but that’s what it smells like on my skin, like cologne, sweet, simple and above all childish.

  8. Elias.encens

    I recently bought this fragrance blind and I’m still not acquiring the taste for it… I feel like it’s as if flowers were mixed with very synthetic-smelling candy. It’s not really my style and it feels childish to me because of those candy notes but I keep wondering if I like it for its powdery side which was the reason I bought it. I’ll keep wearing it for a while to see if it convinces me and I’ll give my more detailed opinion along with longevity and sillage because like many, I love the bottle and I want to try to give it more chances to fully like it. update: in the end I swapped it with a friend, it ended up upsetting my stomach because it felt too synthetically sweet to me

  9. Honestly the price seemed excellent to me and I bought it mostly for the bottle (which is gorgeous), as for the scent I love it it’s sweet but not cloying but only I can smell it or if someone gets close :(, close to the skin it lasts me about 6 hours but it does have moderate sillage (only the first hour)

  10. I bought it blind and with high expectations after seeing several reviews, it ended up being a huge disappointment, once on it smells like Play-doh children’s modeling clay, I definitely don’t recommend it to anyone.

  11. gabriel_neroli

    This perfume is appealing on the outside for its beautiful presentation and captivating on the inside. It surprised me. I bought it blind because its bottle really catches the eye but when wearing it I loved it. It’s a floral perfume due to its composition but with something sweet and vanilla-like very delicately. People notice it a lot on me when I wear it even though I thought it was going to be a totally discreet perfume and scent. I highly recommend it because I think it’s a real gem both for the presentation, the scent, the projection and how affordable it is… besides the fact that they have a 125ml bottle.

  12. I bought this beautiful and original skull blind, it looks like porcelain and has very delicate designs, I didn’t have high expectations for its scent but surprise! it smells great. It’s a simple scent with little evolution, it opens sweet fruity, then heliotrope quickly appears dominating the floral part and marshmallow that to me smells more like powdered vanilla for making sweets, it’s powdery and musky, I don’t find it a gourmand scent, it’s not that sweet or cloying, it’s rather dry. Suitable for any situation, any season and any age, although for formal situations it looks better on young people, it’s not the type of perfume I would wear for a formal situation. Sillage of about a meter for an hour, drops to close to the skin for a couple more hours and disappears, it’s for a short while. For the bottle, how good it smells and its price, it’s worth it even if you have to reapply.

    The opening feels citrusy and fresh due to the plum, with very light sweetness. Freesia and apple blossom follow bringing freshness…. Its heart is a dominant, powdery and elegant heliotrope. The drydown feels sweet, light and powdery, I don’t really perceive the wood. Its sillage is low and its longevity is 4 hours, it projects for the first 30 min, then you only smell it when you get close to where it was applied. The dream bottle! I love it, in fact that’s why I bought it. It’s a floral fruity perfume but I wouldn’t classify it as Gourmand at all!, you smell the flowers more than the fruit.

  14. What a delicious scent, it took me a while to find it, I bought it for the bottle but its scent was a reminder of the past, when I was a little girl, its aroma reminds me of one called Coty or that was its brand, I don’t know, but it was lovely to go back to childhood, highly recommended, if you’re collecting the little skulls this will be your favorite, greetings!!!!

  15. It’s beautifuul! I love it..I bought it blind and it was the best thing I could do. I love the design..not to mention! it’s so aesthetic. Honestly the scent is a luxury..powdery and sweet just how I love them! but floral-fruity super fine, distinguished.. longevity is quite acceptable. It’s delicious, highly recommended.

  16. Powdery and sweet just as described. For everyday wear in spring and fall. Price/quality: ok Its sweetness is perfect. Too bad about the splash cap. Very basic but does the job. Would try the rest.

  17. The Police brand is known for good value for money and Tattoo Art is no exception (although I admit I was swayed by the bottles, I love skulls). The opening tends to turn medicinal in the first few minutes, then the plum note timidly peeks through, but it never fully blooms because the sweet notes and marshmallow quickly arrive, stealing the spotlight from the others and basically the only thing you’ll smell all day is this, marshmallows with a touch of powdered sugar. It’s a nice scent, for casual situations, sillage is medium and longevity very good. 9/10

    A beautiful perfume that doesn’t go unnoticed on the dresser. I loved it, I find it has a sweet fruity opening but not cloying. It has little sillage however on my skin it lasts up to 6 hours and on clothes for days with a delicious sweet marshmallow touch.

  19. This perfume has been my recent purchase. My first perfume from this brand and I was encouraged to buy it because of this pink skull-shaped bottle with drawn roses. Simply gorgeous. The price also pushed me to buy it since where I’m from the 40 ml is around 16 dollars and for trying it’s a great size and price and considering that the house of Police says it’s eau de parfum all the better. The scent of To Be Tattoo Art is at first floral fruity from apple blossom but the perfume shows little evolution because after half an hour it quickly falls on my skin into a gourmand smell of marshmallow clouds with musk that gives a clean touch to the perfume. It’s quite linear since these two notes are what you perceive until the perfume fades on the skin. It’s a sweet gourmand perfume but quite soft that isn’t bothersome in any season. It stays close to the skin after 1 hour and I feel it lasts about 4 hours on me, not much more, but acceptable for the price. Sillage is low in my opinion, although I need to test by asking for opinions. I recommend it first for its girly skull bottle which is also ceramic, its price and finally its pleasant, soft everyday scent.

  26. It smells creamy but like churros. At first, there are floral notes, then it dries down to freshly made churros. It smells like a churrería; I can’t think of another scent for its dry down.

  27. Limavioleta22

    The bottle is a work of art. The fragrance is sweet, soft, and wearable. The notes are very well balanced. I love it and the price is excellent.

    It’s a bit powdery, but I love it… For me, it’s not sweet; the flowers stand out, especially the violet. It’s super nostalgic, reminding me of kids’ colognes. Ideal for any season, weather, age, or casual occasion. Soft and pretty, not overwhelming or pretentious, more delicate and even innocent. Like most, I bought this EDT because of the pink skull and expected something harder given the tattoos, but thinking about it more, the image and fragrance combine perfectly because it’s as delicate as the skull’s pink rose and the roses adorning it. Price, uuuuufffff, amazing. The downside, as expected for an EDT, is poor performance; I can smell it on my skin for a few hours, but there’s no sillage. However, I’d buy it a thousand times again because it’s a go-to for those relaxation days.
