This doesn’t smell weird at all, unlike the previous one. It’s crystal clear: potent resins and white florals with a touch of tropical tiaré. It has almost no sweetness; it’s floral and resinous. Very of its time, with the style of the first Dior Addict and similar scents that are now a bit cloying, with some hints of the nineties. It’s like stuffing a bunch of white flowers into Yves Rocher’s Accord Chic. Elegant and exuberant, perfect for night. I think it’s unisex; even a man could wear it. A great blind buy in terms of quality-to-price ratio if you like this type of perfume.
Nothing like they said it was weird. It truly smells of potent white florals and resins, with a touch of tropical tiaré. Almost no sweetness; it’s floral and resinous. Very of its era, carrying the air of the first Dior Addict and similar scents that are now cloying, with some 90s nostalgia. It’s like adding a whole bunch of white flowers to Yves Rocher’s Accord Chic. Elegant, exuberant, and nocturnal. I think it could even be unisex; a man could wear it. A great blind buy for the quality-to-price ratio if you like this style.
This smells incredibly weird. I bought it blindly because I’m in the mood to try something uncommon. I caught it at a great price at my usual store, and Fragrantica lists good notes for it. The opening is brutal for me: very strong and medicinal. After 20 minutes, it softens and the white florals emerge; it dries down beautifully, but I see it more for women over 45. Although perfumes don’t have an age, this is so cloying and balsamic that I think it suits someone older; nothing youthful, it feels complex and intense. I’m not sure if it’s for day or night, or what it’s really for.
