Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Smells like palo santo with a citrusy touch like lime, some sandalwood, and oriental woods like incense. It’s very exotic, elegant, and mysterious… but it lasts very little and is quite faint. A rare scent, though pleasant and addictive. I see it for men 25+ or women 40+, a real find.
Palo santo with a citrus twist like citron and oriental woods; smells exotic, elegant, and almost mysterious. The downside is it lasts very little and is quite subtle, but it’s a rare and addictive scent. Perfect for men 25+ or women 40+, a true find.
It starts super fresh and rich, but after 15 minutes it shifts to woods (I didn’t really notice the amber) and white flowers try to save the freshness, though I see this more as a night scent. The dry down smells just like Good Luck by Viktor&Rolf. It lasts well on my skin and is interesting for the price (about 4 to 6 hours).
At first, it smells fresh and rich, but after 15 minutes it shifts to woody notes (I didn’t detect the amber) as the white flowers try to keep things fresh. To me, it feels more like a night perfume. I get the same dry-down as Viktor and Rolf’s Good Luck. It performs well on my skin and is interesting for the price (about 4 to 6 hours).
It sounds original and perfect for everyday wear because using a Dior or Mugler all the time feels like too much nowadays. It’s feminine and probably stays closer to the skin; today it’s pleasant and doesn’t overwhelm people, plus I could even wear it to bed.
Seems original for everyday wear; wearing a Dior or Mugler every day these days is a hassle. It’s feminine and maybe works better on the skin; today it’s pleasant without being overwhelming, and I even use it to sleep in.
A gorgeous, sweet citrus scent, even if I’m not totally smitten with the bottle. The projection lasts about four hours. It smells like a coquettish, elegant woman in a suit. I think Shakira’s perfumes evolve with her: the earlier ones were sweet and tender, while these from her Dance collection smell like an empowered woman.
A beautiful, sweet citrus. The bottle doesn’t quite impress me, but the projection lasts up to 4 hours. It smells like a coquettish, elegant woman in a suit. I feel Shakira’s perfumes are evolving with her: once sweet and childish, now empowered from her Dance collection.
Red is a hybrid of many repeated scents: it has the DNA of JPG’s Scandal with touches of YSL’s Black Opium and the juicy fruity side of Cacharel’s Amor Amor. It’s very feminine, but nothing new to me. The skin projection lasts a bit, surpassing 2 hours.
Smells like sugared lemon, with sweet white floral notes and ylang-ylang, a touch of blackcurrant, and a clean soapy vibe I assume comes from ambergris, plus a tiny bit of wood and spice. There’s something about it that makes me keep smelling my wrist over and over; I like it.
Terrible. I tested it in-store, not on skin, and I wanted to smell more raspberry, pink pepper, ylang-ylang, and cedar, but it had a brutal white flower smell. I’m not sure if it was narcissus, but it smelled awful. The lemon made it sour and bitter, not like sweet peel, but like juice that stings your nose when mixed with flowers. I wouldn’t buy it.
Lots of lemon, some blackcurrant, and an amber hint. It results in a soapy, very clean smell (like Adolfo Domínguez Terracota Musk). You can wear it in summer for that fresh feeling. I had to edit my review because on my skin it lasts quite a while. But… it’s missing the ‘Shakira’ signature, which should explode. The packaging is beautiful and the price is good. I’m not sure if I’d buy it based on scent alone.
Leaves me indifferent. It’s warm, spaced out, and sweet. I think the cardamomo just didn’t work for me. It’s missing something memorable that would make me need it. It’s not ugly, just that the spicy touch gets tiring and heavy.
Terrible. I tested it in-store, not on my skin, but I would have wanted to feel more raspberry, pink pepper, ylang-ylang, and cedar. There was an overpowering white floral note—I’m not sure if narcissus, but it smelled really bad; the lemon made it more acidic and bitter, like juice that stings your nose with flowers. I wouldn’t buy it.
After 10 sprays, I expected to smell something more than just raspberry water and detected nothing else. Plus, after 5 minutes it started oxidizing on my skin. So much promise in the notes, but no result. Fatal.
