A gorgeous bottle that looks great anywhere. However, I didn’t like the scent at all. I only detect the woody and herbal notes. It seems unisex. I tried to give it away, but no one liked it either. I’ll leave it as a decoration on a shelf.
The bottle is gorgeous and looks great anywhere, but the scent didn’t quite work for me. I only noticed wood and a herbal touch, almost making it feel unisex. I tried gifting it, but no one liked it, so I’m leaving it as a decoration on a shelf.
It smells rich, modern, and fresh. There’s a similar one that’s more woody, but this feels fresher. It projects well at first, then fades to a fresh mango-and-floral scent that’s almost imperceptible on skin after a couple of hours. Still, it’s a very pleasant and fresh smell.
It’s a rich, modern, and fresh scent. There’s a woodier version out there, but this one shines for its freshness. It projects well at first, then fades to a trail of mango and flowers that becomes almost imperceptible on the skin after a few hours. Pleasant and 100% fresh.
Refreshing for daytime, pleasant and lively; however, the longevity isn’t quite right. I get it considering the price, what a shame :(, if they improve the fixative and bump up the price, I’d be willing to pay for it :). The formula deserves it.
Floral, fruity, and woody; the mango gives it a tropical and fresh touch. I detect a spicy note, but there’s a synthetic undertone I can’t quite identify, it might be mint, even though it’s not listed (though people in the US notice it too). Personally, I don’t enjoy it; it makes me uncomfortable, I notice spicy and mentholated notes that give me a headache. If you dare, it’s ideal for spring. Longevity and projection are decent for the price.
It’s a floral-fruit-woody blend; the mango gives it a tropical and fresh touch. I detect a spicy note, but there’s a synthetic undertone I can’t identify—could be mint, which some users in the US notice. I don’t enjoy it because of that; it makes me uncomfortable, with spicy and mentholated notes that even give me a headache. If you dare, it’s ideal for spring days. Longevity and projection are decent for its affordable price.
Pleasant, woody, and fruity, very nice. Generic but it doesn’t bother anyone. Not a great scent, but it’s fine. Pleasant.
It smells rich and isn’t overpowering, perfect for hot days without being heavy. Mango, jasmine, and cedar take the lead, giving it a pea-like note that’s delicious. The trail is slow and lasts about 4 to 5 hours, which is no bad thing for the price.
Very pleasant and not annoying to anyone. Ideal for hot days when you want to smell good without something heavy. Mango dominates with jasmine and lots of cedar; I think the cardamom note adds a nice touch. The trail is slow and the longevity is average, about 4-5 hours, which is not bad for the price.
Powdery, floral, soft, and feminine scent with low projection and longevity, perfect for daytime use. The price matches the quality. I would definitely buy it.
What catches the eye most is the heart-shaped bottle, simple and beautiful. It smells soft, floral with a touch of wood. I use it for everyday wear and find it pleasant. It doesn’t have a strong sillage, but it works well as a personal fragrance. Longevity is moderate, lasting a good couple of hours, though not all day. I’ve really liked it and keep it among my favorites.
Smells fresh and green, but not citrusy. You can detect woods and herbs, perhaps neroli or cardamom. The mango is persistent but blended with jasmine, rose, and peony, which are barely noticeable separately. I also sense coconut and cinnamon, even though they aren’t listed. The first thing you notice is the cedar, which helps the fragrance last. It fades faster on skin than on fabric, so I apply it to clothes; it doesn’t stain and lasts longer. With 4 sprays, it has moderate sillage and lasts about 4 hours; with just one, it lasts an hour with minimal trail. The bottle is pretty and youthful, but perfume lovers don’t care if it’s youthful or mature. At 36, I use it for daytime outings, shopping, or doctor visits. Not for special nights, but great for outdoors in spring and fall. Wearable indoors, neither too sweet nor floral, nor imperceptible. Average rating. Recommended for ages 15-45. It’s versatile, youthful, and can be worn by active older women who don’t like heavy perfumes.

I like it, but prefer the sheer version. This one is sweeter and warmer, and I detect a cigar note, which is strange since I don’t smoke, but I like that nuance. The flowers feel very sweet. Anyway, good value for money, but I wouldn’t buy it again because there are others I like more.

I love the heart-shaped bottle with the rhinestones and the pendant; the price is fair and it smells great—elegant and modern. The downside is that it doesn’t last long and the fixative isn’t top-notch, but I’ll definitely buy it again.
