Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s a rare fragrance: barely noticeable on the street. On my skin, it starts with very ripe peach and after 15 minutes turns into a lovely floral bouquet. If you like peaches and flowers, give it a try—it’s also affordable. I trade perfumes and have it on my list; email me at [email protected]
It’s a truly rare scent: nobody else seems to smell it on the street, maybe because they’re not paying attention. On my skin, it starts as very ripe peach and after 15 minutes transforms into a gorgeous floral. If you love peaches and flowers, give it a try—it’s also super affordable. I switch up my perfumes often and this is now on my list. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
Nothing like what I expected, and it doesn’t smell like anything familiar. It seems sweet but light, very fruity. Based on the reviews, I thought it would be something else, but I actually liked it. I wouldn’t buy it again when I run out, though it’s a pleasant perfume.
I can’t compare it to anything, nor does it remind me of anything. To me, it’s sweet but not heavy, very fruity. I imagined it differently based on other reviews, but I actually liked it. I won’t repurchase when I run out, but it’s a pleasant fragrance.
RUN AWAY. It smells like rotten water in a cemetery, so if you love the scent of decomposing flowers, this is for you, but I will never, ever buy it again.
What a horror! It smells like rotten water in a cemetery, so if you love the scent of decomposing flowers inside there, this one is for you—but I’ll never buy it again.
They must have reformulated. I bought it again recently, and once it dries down, it smells awful. I’ve known this one well since 1997; it was my daily wear. Maybe it’s my pH today. What a shame, it was something precious to me.
It works for me, but it’s not my favorite. The name promised something warmer, but this smells like fruit and joy, like peach. It lingers for a while, but not forever. It’s neither a disaster nor a masterpiece.
I like it, but it doesn’t win me over. The name promised something warmer, but it smells fruity and cheerful, like peach. It lasts, but not long. It’s neither bad nor great.
Canned peaches: fresh, youthful, the kind of scent that gives you energy and lifts your mood. The longevity and sillage are excellent for the price.
I remember this as my first perfume and hold it dear because it was a gift from my husband when we were dating. Since then, I’ve loved fruity fragrances. Its scent fascinates me and puts me in a good mood—it’s sweet and fruity; the peach note is incredibly rich. The downside is its poor longevity; it fades very quickly and it’s no longer in perfumeries, but the good news is it’s affordable and available online. I can’t wait to buy it again and relive my youth.
I’ve had this as my first perfume and hold it dear because it was a gift from my boyfriend. Since then, I’ve loved fruity scents. It fascinates me and puts me in a good mood; it’s sweet, fruity, and that peach note is absolutely delicious. The downside is it doesn’t last long and it’s no longer sold in stores, but since it’s cheap and available online, I’ll keep buying it to remember those youthful times.
What can you say about this masterpiece that’s been undervalued just because of its accessible price? After trying out the big-name brands, I keep coming back to Café Café Paris, again and again. It’s no longer sold in Argentina, but you can find it on Mercado Libre. Its scent is bohemian yet not vulgar—like an autumn rain mixed with orange peels, with a fresh playfulness. It smells like a walk down the avenue of a sleeping city, like the Eiffel Tower. Its aroma is unlike anything else; it’s singular. I simply love it, and if I were a man, it would be my soulmate, the love of my life, the air I need every day to smile and feel complete.
A simple but lovely scent of sweet peach and nothing much else. Very linear, with good longevity (4–5 hours) and a slightly synthetic feel, with moderate sillage. Simple and unpretentious, ideal for daily use like going to the supermarket or other tasks that don’t require sophistication, or when you don’t want to use a body mist. It suits a wide age range and daytime wear, very practical for a young girl heading to school or going to the movies with friends—not for romantic occasions or parties, as it would be too light. Regular quality matching its low price; it can be a safe bet for many since it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like the smell of peach. It’s not the best, but it’s pleasant and does the job.
