Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I tried it in my twenties and it’s super sensual and exotic, smelling of juicy plum, patchouli, and amber orchid. It’s cheap and delicious, youthful and perfect for a date night or something like that.
I got this in my mid-twenties and it’s super sensual and exotic; smells like juicy plum, patchouli, and orchid with an amber twist. It’s cheap and very nice, youthful, perfect for going out or a date.
Starts very fruity, with sweet and tropical fruits without being heavy. They blend great with the patchouli and orchid, which stand out over the rest. Very pleasant to wear, I think I prefer it to Heat and the other flankers.
The opening is very fruity, sweet and tropical fruits without being cloying. They blend well with the patchouli and orchid, which stand out over the rest. Very pleasant, I think I prefer it to Heat and the other flankers.
Smells just like Kriska Drama: patchouli and sweet fruits. Pretty good for the price.
Strangely sensual scent, without being a nose-ripper. At first, you note the sweetness and acidity of the plums and the tropical notes, then it dries down to a warm, sensual, and very clean finish thanks to the orchids. I’d describe it as sober. I wear it at night in cold environments. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, but I accept that well because it’s economical; I can’t ask for more.
Strangely sensual scent, without hitting the nose. At first, you note the sweetness and acidity of the plums with tropical touches, then it dries down to a finish that evokes warmth, sensuality, and cleanliness thanks to the orchids. I’d describe it as sober. I wear it more at night in cold environments. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, which I accept well because of its economical price; I can’t ask for more.
If you’re looking for something sensual, provocative, and eccentric without being overwhelming, this is it. I compare it to Mugler’s Angel, but it’s less potent, less long-lasting, and fresher. If you love patchouli, it’s a winning purchase and the price is accessible. It opens fresh and sweet, intoxicating due to the patchouli; it’s elegant and sexy without being as provocative as Angel, with a similar structure. The longevity is moderate: strong at first and fades over time. It’s a complex scent because the patchouli dominates, it’s an acquired taste, but it’s worth trying. If you love patchouli as much as I do, I find it weak, but it’s fine for everyday wear.

A super sexy scent, ideal for night. It has a ‘purple’ touch with exotic fruits, plums, and flowers, mixed with the sweetness of amber and patchouli and a woody base from sandalwood. It’s nocturnal, sexy, and exotic.
The scent is nice, but it smells very much like home air fresheners.
