Smells like cider, haha, but it’s a classic that works well. It has this mix of sophistication and fruity freshness, with a slight sweetness that doesn’t make it gourmand. Out of the three versions, this one has more punch and energy, and the best part is that it lasts—something rare for perfumes this affordable.
What a shame about the previous comment, it’s a pity. To me, it’s pure elegance, a true perfume classic. Imagine a cultured, high-status woman, sober and intellectual. It’s floral and I love it; maybe a bit old school, but it suits my wife perfectly; it projects really well and doesn’t surprise her at all.
I bought the gift box with Coral, Purple, and Woman. Woman smells terrible, like dry urine with vinegar flowers. I’m not exaggerating, it’s real; I’ve told everyone and they’ve all made the same disgusted face. At least it comes in 30ml. The other two, Coral and Purple, smell great and I took them for my girlfriend.
Smells green, very strong, herbal, and deep. It’s like freshly cut grass, ground leaves, and hay soap. Totally winter.
An American classic, my sister-in-law’s fragrance (I’ll be her supplier for life). Smells good, unpretentious, sometimes strong but never leaves you wanting. It’s a universal staple that people like, though whoever wears it makes it a feat. It’s an elixir with floral and woody notes that captures an eternal essence. Ideal for leaving an unforgettable impression thanks to its balance.
I’ve worn it a few times; smells like just out of the shower, clean, and no nonsense. Very affordable price, ideal for the gym and having a pleasant scent.
I like it, although it’s a bit cold. It’s one of those that takes time to show its potential. Smells clean, not soapy, gives a sense of tidiness. I bought a small bottle I haven’t finished yet; this ethereal, cottony scent is starting to bore me. I won’t repurchase; I’ll move on to others when I finish it.
I love it because it projects a lot on the skin and lasts all day. The opening is strong, so I apply very little so it’s not cloying; two sprays are enough. At first I notice the melon and citrus, then it becomes aquatic and fresh, I think because of the lilies. I don’t detect the vanilla. I like that a perfume is noticeable and leaves the room impregnated, although that’s why many don’t like it. If I want to smell super fresh, clean, and like that all day, I use my Perry Ellis 360.
My wife loves it, but to me it feels more like a fragrance for women over 25. It lasts about 6 hours on the skin and keeps the room perfumed for a good while.
It’s not a bad fragrance, but it just doesn’t convince me. I feel it’s very old and dated; it didn’t make me feel comfortable. Plus, during the daytime heat, I felt it was overwhelming and gave me a headache. Not recommended at all.
Hi Fragrantica community. I’ve had a theory for years: people who are precious, unique, and affordable fragrances always find someone who just wants to trash them. They say absurd or even lewd things, like they smell like old age, but it’s the exact opposite. I think in their world, they believe if they discredit a gem, people will avoid using it, making them feel special for having their own style. But guess what? That doesn’t exist. It’s impossible! Especially not with a masterpiece like this and its creator. Taste breaks down into genres, and we respect everyone’s opinion, but beyond just not liking it, people should be educated and not make transgressive comments. In the end, it’s absurd to think that way takes away my chance to try it. Ignore them, try everything that intrigues you, and form your own opinion. Enjoy it! 😍😍😍
I bought it based on the good reviews, but it just doesn’t convince me. The first time I smelled it, I thought it was old; for almost an hour, I smelled rotting melon, sweet and very overripe, which was repulsive to me. After that time, that unpleasant smell faded, and the sweetness and flowers lasted about 6 hours, becoming exquisite. I think the key is the amount: a light puff makes it pleasant, but if you apply more, the opposite happens.
This was one of the perfumes I used in college, no matter the occasion. Whenever I felt like it, I’d spray it a few times and feel regal (back then I knew nothing about perfumes, and this one has always been popular). It’s a lovely scent, citrusy and slightly floral. I smelled the melon note strongly with the tangerine orange at the start, then it faded, leaving the earthy vetiver with vanilla. It lasted about 7 hours on my skin and several days on clothes.
I just smelled it because my mom has a sample, and oh my god, I don’t know if its scent has changed over the years (I want to think that’s why), but it seems lovely, yet also fetid and bizarre. It saddens me because it’s a fragrance my mom loves, and since we have similar tastes, I thought I’d like it too. At first, it seemed delicious, but after a while, it smelled like perfumed hearts coated in saliva; I love the smell of those hearts, but I don’t know which note makes it smell that way. I think it’s the vetiver because I’ve never used a perfume with this note. I’m not really a fan of musk, but sometimes that note goes unnoticed when combined with others. It’s a pity because I had high expectations.
This perfume is unique to me; it doesn’t resemble anything in my collection. It’s timeless, has great sillage, and longevity. Every time I wear it, I get compliments; people say I smell good, and it’s not invasive. I’ve wanted to buy it for many years, and I’d buy it 10 times more. It smells delicious, like vanilla and sandalwood.
Initial note: this is an absolutely underrated fragrance. Fresh, clean, energetic—that’s the spirit of this fragrance. It achieves an excellent balance between the floral and fruity notes that predominate without invading, and the clean, powdery heart. Without a doubt, a great find. Note: on my skin, the longevity was short, and the projection was scarce or non-existent; it feels close to the skin, but others won’t notice it.
It has a rich scent, but its longevity on me wasn’t good, so I won’t buy it again. However, I’ll try the Coral version to see if it performs better on me. I’m surprised everyone says it has good longevity; I bought mine at Falabella, so I think it’s original. Maybe I have a reformulated version? Just to clarify, I had the EDT, and for the Coral, I’ll buy the EDP.
It never caught my attention, but a few days ago, a classmate was wearing it and smelled great. Then, at a night event in the cold, there was a girl with a wonderful aroma. I didn’t know what perfume it was, I was going to ask, but I lost sight of her. The next night, I found her again at another event and recognized her by her scent. This time, I asked, and I couldn’t believe it was this perfume. In the cold, it smells very good and stands out. I had to buy it, and I love it; fresh and long-lasting.
In my teenage years, around the 2000s, it was very famous, and all the girls wanted to wear it; it was one of the fragrances of the moment back then. I bought it remembering that I had liked it very much and that it had cost me to get it, but in my adult years, it didn’t meet my expectations, especially regarding longevity. I can say that I like its scent; it’s fresh, like freshly cut grass, floral with some sweet touches, maybe a bit aquatic. I would wear it every day for work, going shopping, or informal events. I use the same perfume during the day; I don’t like changing, so I wish it would last longer. Many people say it’s strong, but on my skin, after 6 hours, I have to reapply because I feel like I’m not smelling anything; probably it’s my pH. It’s a delicious fragrance.
Definitely, male and female scents are sometimes antagonistic. In the reviews, I read that many girls dislike it, but it’s a fragrance that fascinates many of us. They complain that it’s strong, that the sillage, vintage, etc., etc. It’s simple; give it a chance on a cold night, and you’ll see it’s a resounding success.
I absolutely love it! Smells like someone just stepped out of the shower with super clean, fresh soap. Works great anywhere: college, office, day or night.
I was looking for something I’d like and, honestly, I bought it blindly and it didn’t work for me. I don’t get what people see in it. I’m using it now to scent the bathroom until it runs out.
What a nightmare! I’d have to go outside just to get rid of it, not because I want to, but to finish it off. It smells like very strong, annoying soap, and it gives the impression of having perfumed something with a bad smell, even if you just took a shower.
I love this perfume; I’ve been using it for over 11 years and, even though I have many, I always come back to it. It works for any season. It has a powerful sillage, lasts a long time, is super cheap, and smells very different from everything else. It’s not for everyone, but whoever dares to wear it will turn heads wherever they go.
They gave it to me, and honestly, it feels a bit heavy to me; it gives me a headache, so I gave it to my mom, and she absolutely loves it.
For years I didn’t get it, I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and I never understood it; it smells very strong, like a slap in the face with a bouquet of flowers. Its success was so huge that it became ubiquitous and mocked—a word we Mexicans use for something so overused you see it in every pot. It’s very warm, sweet, elegant, and versatile, with melon as its standout note. Now at 44, it suits me perfectly; it’s a delight. There’s no doubt that senses sharpen and perspectives change with age. Now I understand it, I embrace it, and I enjoy it immensely. I bought it, and the best part is they didn’t have the bad taste of reformulating it like they did with many others that went straight to hell.
This perfume has a TRICK: an ex gave it to me many years ago and I couldn’t tolerate it; it seemed super strong and not feminine, so I gave it back to him. Later, I smelled it on a university professor and it looked excellent, very soft. I told her about my bad experience, and she said, ‘the trick is to put on just a little bit; I use one spray in my hand and distribute it with my finger behind the ears, décolletage, and wrists.’ I bought a clone that smells quite accurate, in a small version, and tried her advice: indeed, the trick is to put on very little; it still surrounds you but no longer like a slap, but like a fresh, soft, clean hug. Later I got an original and the trick still worked. Now it seems like a classic ‘back of the closet’ scent that I want to have again. Hopefully, someone who rejects it at first will try this.
It smells old, like grandma’s talcum powder, like Maja… it gives me a headache, it has too much musk and wood… it’s not for me :/
I love its scent. It smells clean and lasts a very long time. What a pity it gives me allergies.
Perfume: smells like a wet baby wipe. Toilette: smells more like melon.
