    I wanted to try it for its elegance and pleasantness, but the sample was a disaster 😟. It smells like stuck flowers, very grandma-style like Shalimar. It doesn’t last even two hours, so I went to wash my wrists, though luckily it came off easily.

  2. It has so much personality! Don’t buy it blindly. When I tried it, I fell in love instantly. It’s elegant, not for everyday wear or all climates; it’s super night-time and can be overpowering. I love it and I’ll keep repurchasing.

  3. Not for me. It has a note I hate: it smells like old lipstick. It’s very subjective, but it smells dated, invasive, and gives me a headache. It lasts and projects a lot.

  4. Honestly, this could be my forever perfume. It’s a deep floral; the white flowers are elegant and convey luxury. It moves you up the social ladder, it smells like an expensive woman. It has presence, sophistication, and character. It’s feminine, intense, and unforgettable. Refined and powerful, I love it without any reservations.

  5. It’s very feminine, with beautiful neroli well combined. It looks good day and night. It could be a signature scent, but in the heat it gets a bit heavy.

    I was gifted a sample and when I tried it, I felt it was strong; the neroli is noticeable. The longevity and sillage are good; I see it for formal occasions, but don’t abuse the sprays so as not to overwhelm. I wouldn’t buy it; it doesn’t match my personality, it seems more for older ladies.

  7. I have both the first and last edition. Since this one is on sale, I prefer to use Fakhar by Lattafa, which lasts me more than 6 hours. For the price, it’s not worth it.

  8. It smells delicious, but be careful, only for autumn/winter. In the heat, it can be overwhelming. It’s a potent white floral with great projection, feminine but with character. Incredibly versatile, works for day or night and lasts forever. Definitely one of my favorites.

    I’ve been wanting this fragrance for months. It’s creamy, elegant, feminine, and sexy; the neroli sounds like a bomb. At first, you notice the pear and a hint of bergamot, then it evolves into a mix of neroli, jasmine, and patchouli. If you’re a floral fan, you’ll love it; I love that it feels a bit ‘grown-up’, though younger perfume lovers might not get it. Longevity and projection are 10/10, it lasts hours and everyone notices. It’s expensive but a great investment for the collection. Ideal for daily wear, work, dates, or meetings, though it also looks great at night.

  10. I can’t stand this scent; I don’t get why people receive compliments for it. It smells cheap and overpowering, nothing elegant. I bought a small bottle and never finished it; it was so heavy it wouldn’t even work for scenting the house. If this is what neroli is, then it’s a no for me.

    Creamy and sensual neroli, perfect for cool days or going out at night.

    I’ve never been told so many nice things about a perfume. It became my signature. It lasts for hours and is gorgeous. I love it.

    My perfume for over three years. It goes with everything, it’s well-balanced, and super sexy.

    My favorite for special events. It’s sweet, has a great trail, lasts days on clothes and about 7 to 12 hours on skin according to others. I feel the heart note a bit soapy but addictive, and the base is very sexy. Honestly, I love it; it’s super sweet without being cloying, and I adore how long it lasts. It’s heavy, perfect for a date or something special.

    I never thought I’d like something so floral, nor had I even noticed it before, but it suddenly won my heart.

    The scent is delicious; I’m especially enamored by the pear note.

    It’s very similar to the Rouge from the same line, but softer and more wearable for daily use; I love it. It’s exquisite, just like its little brother, perfect for everyday wear and truly timeless.

  18. It’s gorgeous, a classic, and one of my favorites. I’ve noticed it on several people, and it always smells different on them, which I adore. I can’t quite identify the notes, but it reminds me of violet candies at first; girls love it, and for me, that’s more than enough.

    This is the most praised perfume I own. It lasts over 10 hours, is super feminine, sensual, and flirty. The neroli and vanilla stand out with a touch of white flowers. 10/10.

    I have the mini version because I want to buy the full size. It’s a white floral for sure, but very, very strong and even a bit overwhelming (in my case). It’s one of those perfumes that gives me a headache (probably a specific note), even though I usually handle intense scents. I’m not saying it smells bad, just that it’s not my style; I wouldn’t wear it. It’s similar, almost identical, to Lattafa’s Fakhar Rosé and much cheaper; if you don’t want to risk spending a lot, use that without hesitation. Also, I feel it has a masculine vibe. Overall, it’s a good perfume, just not for me.

  21. I ignored it when it launched, thinking it was just another fruity-floral. A few years ago I bought its flanker, Millésime, and I loved it. This year I saw it at half price and thought, ‘why not?’ Ahhh, what a beauty! Those juicy neroli notes. I fell in love and now I use both. They aren’t that similar; the original is less sweet, I even feel it’s fresher. Everyone wears it, but I don’t mind. A must-have.

  22. When I first sprayed it, it smelled wonderful—flowers and wood, very elegant. After a few minutes, all the sophisticated aroma evaporated. On my skin, the vanilla stands out too much (probably due to my pH); it becomes overly sweet and vanilla-heavy until it gives me a headache (if you like vanilla, you’ll probably love it, but I hate it).

  23. Honestly, the perfume is super commercial; at least in Argentina, half the town owns it, just like La Vie Est Belle. The downside is you can’t stand out. The upside is it never fails; everyone loves it. It’s rich, with a lot of white floral scent and a well-balanced sweet, tart pear note. It’s strong and a bit invasive, entering the room before you do, so I recommend wearing it at night or in autumn/winter because it feels too dense in summer.

    I couldn’t stand it; it smells like cigarettes to me. I don’t detect any fruity notes at all—what a fiasco! I have My Way, and it’s definitely a treasure compared to this fragrance. For me, it’s a resounding NO.
