Dieciocho by MARIA CHER.

I got flooded with compliments about the longevity and the praise it supposedly received, so I bought it blindly. Result: it smells like cheap plastic, reminds me of an Antonio Banderas fragrance but worse, and on my skin it barely lasts two hours. I tried the 18 Glossy too and couldn’t stand it either; they smell like low-quality perfume. @Fer96’s review of this line is the complete one.

Cher 18 is good, it’s floral and fresh, but it’s a fragrance that doesn’t stand out; it’s very overused.

My first national love and the one I’ll always buy again. It’s sweet (a lot), persistent, feminine, and has a great price-to-quality ratio. The Glitter version is the same, but be careful: the glitters clog the atomizer and stop the perfume from coming out; mine evaporated from somewhere. Fan of the 18 and I recommend everyone get one.

I’m reviewing again to compare Cher 18 with its dupes (which aren’t on Fragrantica): 🍯 Cher 18 EDP: Pretty, sweet, and honeyed. It resembles JPG’s Scandal but with more flowers and fruits at the start, and it’s less heavy. Ideal for autumn-winter and very versatile. I think it’s the most ‘burned,’ I hear it a lot on the street. 🍯✨ Cher 18 Glitter Edition: Same as the EDP but with glitters; the honey is more noticeable. They are almost identical in scent, but since it’s thicker, it lasts longer. It’s the hardest to find; I only saw it at Parfumerie. 🍮👠 Cher 18 Elixir: It’s Le Parfum, not EDP. Very concentrated, sweet, and caramelized; the flowers go unnoticed. Better not to over-spray so you don’t get sickly sweet. It projects a lot, lasts until the next day, and weeks on clothes. Sweet and elegant, perfect for winter and night. 🍊 Cher 18 Glossy: The most distinct and least original. On my skin, it’s the fruity notes with a vanilla base (my sister smells more vanilla). Ideal for spring or cool days. It doesn’t seem like Scandal, but it does resemble the JPG style. I think it’s a dupe for La Belle, which I also didn’t like. Of all the versions, this was the one I liked the least. 🍹🥂🍊 Cher 18 Spritz: I felt something similar before. At first, it reminds me of the original Cher 18, but later the tangerine takes the spotlight. It smells like tangerine with an effervescent and nocturnal touch. It’s rich but not overwhelming; it reminded me of summer perfumes like Kaiak or IN2U, though maybe it’s more for night. Of all the flankers, this has the least longevity. I don’t know which is my favorite, maybe the Glitter. I hope Cher improves the bottles; the atomizers break quickly.

In my opinion, it’s a pretty, sweet, very honeyed, and floral fragrance. It doesn’t overwhelm or give me headaches like others. It has differences from Scandal: this smells much sweeter and more basic, while the original has different twists. They are both pretty perfumes for lovers of sweet scents. If you like Scandal but not its price, try this. If you like sweet perfumes, I also recommend it. It’s for everyday wear with longevity appropriate to the price. It’s a 7/10.

Honey, honey, and more honey. Literally smells like a jar of honey, sweet and potent. At first, I wasn’t convinced because it’s strong, but over time I fell in love with it, especially the dry-down. I get why some people can’t handle it; if you over-spray, it’s unbearable. I love it, but if you’re looking for something subtle, this isn’t it.

Scandal never won me over, but years later I felt the need to try it again. I wasn’t planning to spend much since it’s not one of my favorites, but I wanted that sweet note in my collection. When I tested this version, I liked it quite a bit. It’s identical and delicious. I loved it for everyday wear, though I feel it’s a bit too strong for daytime and feels a bit short for evening. I find it youthful, nothing sophisticated or sensual. I’d give it a 7. It’s tasty, but on me it doesn’t last more than 3 or 4 hours. Maybe I should let it mature.

One of my most-used perfumes, spectacular. I’d dare say everyone likes it (unless you hate sweets). It has a sparkling, honeyed touch, but it’s nowhere near cloying. I’d say it’s fresh; I wear it during the day. Although it’s a chameleon for any season, I enjoy it most in spring and summer. I LOVE it.

I like it because on my skin it ends up soapy. I thought I’d hate it, but I find it very wearable, sweet in an oriental and mature way.

Rich, honey scent, but nothing groundbreaking. It’s a successful perfume that’s quite overused in Argentina; everyone wears it. I’m waiting for the Eighteen Elixir to launch, because that one, I stand up for, it’s excellent. I usually get migraines with very sweet perfumes, but it has such a floral opening that it makes up for it. Super addictive and lasts all day.

I bought it a long time ago just because people liked it and said it was similar to Scandal (I don’t know why I didn’t try it) and I had to give it away because it was extremely sweet. The honey felt too much on my skin and I couldn’t tolerate it; it was overwhelming.

So far, the most flattering. In Argentina, it’s a bit intense, but it leaves a unique scent. If I describe it in a few words: feminine, sophisticated, and bold. It’s not youthful; I’ve seen it on women over 50, and it looks incredible on them. It suits all ages. The longevity is excellent; I recommend it for winter. It looks good day or night, but not in extreme heat because it’s strong and sweet. It’s a sweet scent worth it; there’s a note that balances the caramel and honey, perhaps citrus or patchouli. One of my favorites 💞

I bought it because of the endless positive reviews… I don’t know if I got a faulty bottle or if my nose is failing, but I don’t feel anything they say. Is the smell of turpentine the ‘beeswax’? Definitely not honey. No citrus notes. Maybe turpentine with a 0.01% touch of synthetic peach. I’ll go try it in a store to see if I change my review… for now, I advise you not to make my mistake of buying it blind.

A BEAUTIFUL perfume that makes you want to eat it because of how intense the honey is (unlike Scandal, where it’s more subtle). The dupe is very well done; the only negative is the longevity: on my skin, it barely lasts 2 hours. 😪

I have the Glitter edition; I bought it for that and the reviews, but I only smell honey. It’s not a perfume I’d choose; it’s too sweet, just honeyed, at least on my skin. Someday I’ll have the guts to wear it before it goes bad on the shelf.
