Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I fell for it at 18 after seeing it in Vogue and didn’t stop until I had it at home. Those tropical fruits—melon and peach mixed with jasmine and white flowers—won me over, all in an ad that almost gave me the kiss. It’s officially my first love perfume 🙂
If you’re over 90 or looking for bold, classic florals from the era without fear of intensity, this is for you. It smells like Estee Lauder’s Beautiful but lighter with less sillage, and like Calvin Klein’s Beauty but less sweet. Note: at first, it smells very synthetic and sweet; wait for it to dry down to discover the true scent. Ideal for confident women over 25, perfect for work or for yourself. It doesn’t overwhelm anyone; the trail is subtle. It smells familiar and comforting, even if I can’t separate the notes—I just enjoy the whole thing. You can only find it online; I snagged it in Mexico for a great price, around $25 for 100 ml.
