My grandma gave me this lotion at the end of the year, and it’s become one of my favorites. It doesn’t leave a trail and doesn’t last hours, but it’s perfect for everyday use and, given the price, ideal for a chill day.
My grandma gave me this lotion at the end of the year, and it’s one of my favorites. It doesn’t have an impressive trail or exaggerated longevity, but it’s a great perfume for everyday use, and for the price, I think it’s a good option for a chill day.
Pleasant fragrance, but watch out with the sprays. The best part is the price. Great for walks or working out. Cheers!
It’s a pleasant fragrance, but you need to watch out with the sprays—the best part is the price. Ideal for walks or working out. Saludos.
@jerry7474: Hi. I gave Esika another shot; I bought Magnet and Magnat Select. I noticed superior quality in Natura, I think I overdid it there. But with Esika, I still smell plastic. I hope the other two fragrances change my mind. Thanks for the recommendations.
I like it. Although it’s synthetic, it smells clean thanks to the lavender; the citrus notes are subtle, and it has a more marked green aura. It’s linear like many catalog scents. Good longevity, noticeable after 12 hours, with a notable trail for the first four. Be careful on very hot days, it can be suffocating.
@Fire:Flex: Buddy, glad you tried them. There are several that are really good, nice, and cheap; not all are masterpieces, but they have their treasures. Nothing beats opening up new horizons: you’ll realize, like me, that we often pay too much for too little. That way, we’ll know when to pay the real price. Big hug.
I love it! Despite how synthetic it is, it smells super clean thanks to the lavender; the citrus notes are barely noticeable, and it has a more pronounced green vibe. It’s linear like most catalog scents, but it lasts well over 12 hours, and the trail is noticeable for the first four hours. Be careful on very hot days, it can be a bit suffocating.
Obviously it’s synthetic, isn’t cashmere too? Its predominant note is cashmere; I imagine it’s an essentric molecules molecule. It brings back memories of when I was a kid; my cousin smelled like this. It’s a clean sensation, almost like fabric softener residue; bitter and velvety, with hidden nuances of bitter, mossy lavender. It has a sweet hint that doesn’t develop. The first impression was indifferent, almost negative, but then came nostalgia and joy. Here, it does give CLEAN sweat; use it sparingly. Its great strength is originality: it smells like Zetas (mushroom) and pine due to the cashmere. It’s a love-hate thing; for me, it’s eternal love. Sure, many won’t like it on its own, but on someone else, it hypnotizes. A great gem, I recommend trying it. If you want to make a difference, don’t look any further.
@Fire_flex: That’s your opinion, and I respect it, but I disagree. I haven’t tried this fragrance, but in my collection (over 170 perfumes), I have several from Esika, Natura, Jafra, and Avon, which are catalog scents. Even though they’re catalog, I’ve found treasures that smell better than some Armani, Carolina Herrera, or Hugo Boss. Sure, they don’t have the prestige of designer brands, but if you give your nose a chance, you’ll see that just because they’re catalog doesn’t mean they’re ordinary or cheap. On the contrary, they’re interesting and good proposals. I recommend: Jafra Absolute Leather, Avon Premier Luxe Oud, Black Suede Intense, Sensus Absolute e in Black, Esika Magnat Imperium, and Select. They’re incredible at a ridiculous price. I think you need to know more so you don’t confuse ‘cheap’ with ‘ordinary’. Big designer and niche brands have horrible fragrances sold at high prices. It’s not about buying brands, it’s about essences. If I like the essence, I buy it, whether it’s Chanel or Natura. If you only want brands, you’ll be disappointed. You need to know more, buddy. Worth noting that I don’t like it, but claiming it smells ‘cheap’ or is ‘cheap quality’ is a mistake. Only a perfumer can say that, not an enthusiast. Sorry if I offended, that wasn’t my intention. Cheers.
According to forum and YouTube reviews, I picked up this fragrance. The truth is, this type of aroma always smells like catalog. I thought they had changed, but they all have that DNA that smells cheap, like plastic. I don’t recommend it. The same happened with Natura.
Very similar to YSL Y EDT. Excellent quality/price ratio. Fresh, fruity, citrusy. Projects well for two or three hours and lasts about six. Excellent for its price.
