I wish I had liked it. Another blind buy. I was interested in its longevity, projection, notes, and, why not, the bottle. It had everything to succeed. The name isn’t a coincidence: they promise a luminous aura, an invisible halo perceived as a pink scent. They say the Swarovski crystal sits in the Sahasrara chakra, the seat of pure thought. A new age fragrance. But here’s the thing: its opening is a brutal blast of pink pepper that makes me sneeze and settle in my stomach. This isn’t Aura; it’s *Resplandor*, the movie where a psychopathic pink pepper assassinates every note with an axe without mercy. At first, a cheeky, bitter lychee tries to take charge, but the pepper devours it in seconds. It didn’t last ten minutes, even though I hoped it would add its juiciness. A huge mistake for trusting so much pink. Then, a sweet rose with white flowers tries to stretch out, but the pepper, with traces of lychee, wraps around and poisons its sweetness, turning it into a bitter floral nightmare. The musk and benzoin try to powder it and add warmth, but there was no mercy; they fell and died with the base notes already set. The projection is good, fades in two hours, and lasts about five hours on my skin. For me, nothing subtle or delicate; I still feel the bitterness. If you like the pepper-lychee-rose mix and it doesn’t repel you, it’s fantastic. Try it before buying. The best part is the bottle: original, cylindrical, futuristic, with pink liquid inside a polished metal tube and a Swarovski crystal top carved by Gwenaël Nicolas. Thank goodness it’s refillable; I plan to use it again once I get rid of the pepper smell. It comes with a full bath line and three luxury pendants with transparent, pink, and illuminating gloss. If they hadn’t overdone the pepper and lychee, it would have been a winner. For now, let them stick to what they do best: absolutely gorgeous luxury jewelry with carved crystal.
I wish I had liked it; it was another blind buy. I was interested in the longevity, the notes, and the look; it had everything to be a hit. The name isn’t a coincidence: Aura is an invisible luminous irradiation, a halo we perceive as a pink scent. If the bottle were the human body, the Swarovski crystal would be in the Sahasrara chakra, the one of pure thought. It’s a new age fragrance. But watch out: it starts with a brutal blast of pink pepper that makes me sneeze and settle in my stomach. This isn’t Aura; it’s *Resplandor*, the movie where an excessive, psychopathic pink pepper assassinates every note in its path. At first, a cheeky, bitter lychee jumps out wanting to take charge, but the pepper devours it instantly. It doesn’t last ten minutes. The poor thing wanted to add its juiciness, but it made a mistake trusting so much pink. Then a sweet rose with white flowers appears, but as soon as it stretches out, the pepper (with lychee remnants) wraps around and poisons its sweetness, turning it into a bitter floral nightmare. The musk and benzoin try to powder it and add warmth, but there was no mercy; they fell under its influence with the base notes already set. The projection is good, fades in two hours, and lasts about five hours on my skin. For me, there’s nothing subtle; I still feel its bitterness. If you like the pepper-lychee-rose mix and it doesn’t repel you like it does for me, it’s fantastic, but try it before buying. The best part is the bottle: original, cylindrical, futuristic, with pink juice wrapping a polished metal tube and a Swarovski crystal tip carved by Gwenaël Nicolas. Thank goodness it’s refillable, so I’ll give it more uses once I get rid of the pepper smell. It comes with a complete bath line and three luxury pendants with transparent, pink, and illuminating gloss. If they hadn’t overdone the pepper and lychee, it would have been a winner. For now, let them stick to what they do best: absolutely gorgeous luxury jewelry with carved crystal.
I love it. Unlike the first review, I think this is very personal; in fact, it was the fragrance I wore on my wedding day.
I love this fragrance and its packaging. If it weren’t out of this world, what makes it special is its subtlety and longevity. It’s one of my favorites.
The bottle is gorgeous, with that huge Swarovski crystal. At first, it smells strong, a bit spicy, even sharp, but then it calms down and lets the musk and rose emerge on my skin. I use it a lot in autumn and winter. It’s not for all-day wear or for everyone, but to me, it’s a very particular and unique scent.
It smells good, and I’ve thought about buying it several times, but in the end, I decided against it. It doesn’t seem special to me; it’s the typical floral that smells nice but doesn’t stand out at all.
