By Invitation by Michael Buble

I think I’ve never failed so badly on a blind buy. I saw very praising reviews from experts and, seeing the notes, I bought it instantly. The red fruit top notes smell like plastic, and in 15-20 minutes, it transforms into a rare, dirty, almost earthy musk, as if it had an undeclared patchouli note. I don’t know when to wear it. I imagine it’s a matter of my pH, but I gave it many chances and I’ll gift it to someone who likes it. By the way, its flanker Rose Gold, which I bought along with it, is a very charming sweet floral.

I’m into intense and sweet perfumes, but I have mixed opinions on this one. Now that I have a sample: I’m surprised by the quality, intensity, and longevity of a singer’s fragrance. It’s good for cold days, but be careful. If you overdo it, you give a headache to others or yourself. Phew, for me it’s too heavy. Being intense is fine, but not this heavy. I wouldn’t wear it; it’s too sweet and creamy. I’d rate the quality 7.5-8, and I quite like the bottle too.

What a spectacular fragrance! I bought it after reading Irasema’s review, and waooo, what a delight. It’s sweet, imposing, and above all, different; I feel it’s sophisticated with hints of red fruits and praline. There’s a subtle floral touch that doesn’t bother me since I’m not a fan of florals. The trail and longevity are spectacular. If you’re looking for something delicious and not overdone, try it.

It’s a beautiful perfume, very sweet and fruity, elegant yet youthful and not cloying. It has a sweetness similar to Lancôme’s Nuit Trésor, but once it dries down close to the skin, it reminds me a bit of Armaf’s Club de Nuit Intense. It has a great trail and longevity, over 8 hours. I definitely want it in my collection, although it’s hard to find in Mexico.

A truly elegant delight that develops beautifully on the skin; it’s a pleasure to wear. It’s formal yet youthful at the same time, featuring flowers and a delicious vanilla that stands out with a respectable trail. On my skin, it’s sweet but not cloying; it works for warm days, though not extreme heat since it’s potent. A standout acquisition.

It’s a cheap perfume that smells expensive, but watch out; it’s not for everyone. To me, it feels a bit cloying and enveloping; I like it, but you have to apply it moderately so as not to overwhelm the people around you. It’s for night and elegant special occasions. I apply it an hour before going out so it’s not perceived as too strong.

It settles woody on me, and although those aren’t usually my thing, I tolerate it well because of the sweetness. It feels similar to Marc Jacobs’ Decadence. Ideal for cool climates and for those who enjoy sweet and woody scents. I don’t see any resemblance to La Nuit de Tresor or Vida Es Bella.

I ordered this on Irasema’s recommendation and it didn’t disappoint: a super elegant sweetness with delicious spiced berries. As it dries down, it becomes powdery. It hits the three B’s: good, beautiful, and cheap; it smells luxurious.

It’s true that it smells great at first, but on my skin it lasts less than half an hour. I threw it away because I couldn’t stand the nauseating smell of cheap musk it leaves behind. I don’t want to smell like this.
