Perfect for summer. Without that touch of ginger, it would be very linear, but it makes it effervescent and spicy (without being as aggressive as black pepper). I’ll try it again with more Galliano, and maybe, who knows, with this little treasure. On skin, it lasted about 5-7 hours with a moderate trail for the first two hours.

I liked it, but it didn’t seem special to me. It smells citrusy, pleasant, and non-acidic, with ginger and a soapy touch at the start that transitions to a woody base. For me, who isn’t a huge citrus fan, it’s a good one. Soft sillage and low longevity. It’s a rich, clean, fresh scent I’d use if gifted, but I wouldn’t buy it myself. Scent 7/10, longevity 4/10, sillage 4/10, value 4/10, versatility 9/10, packaging 10/10. Would I buy it again? No.

I ended up craving Galliano more and started with this Eau Fraîche of Parlez-moi d’amour. It’s not rebellious or typical of Galliano, but it’s adorable. It opens with a juicy, sparkling grapefruit, fizzy and spicy from the sweet-and-sour ginger. The heart is a watery, sweet white floral with soft blossoms. The base is fresh, woody cypress, slightly musky and powdery over time. Perfect for spring and summer, clean and relaxing, ideal to start the day with a smile. Very youthful. Even though it’s floral, I feel it’s more fruity: sweet citrus, nothing acidic. Between Versense (without the woody notes) and Donna by Trussardi, it has the elegance of both at a much lower price. A perfect unisex scent, but with one flaw: very weak longevity and sillage, about 4 hours, though enough for an Eau Fraîche. Don’t mind reapplying. The bottle is a dream and evokes vacation postcards. The seal is real, glued to the glass, not a print. It can peel off, haven’t tried it yet, but you’ll see… hehe. On the silver cap, in English, it says something like ‘and this is the reason I write to you, my love.’ It reminds me of summer group outings, afternoons at the beach with popsicles, glances at beachgoers, hand-holding walks, and stolen kisses at sunset with a taste of sunscreen and salt. Friendships made on the coast, families who settled there, and other French, English, or Italian friends who broke the language barrier (in adolescence, language is universal) until summer ended. A sweet, innocent fragrance that evokes those teenage summer loves. Nothing like Galliano’s temperament, but I loved it a lot.

An orgasm for the nose. Perfect for a cruise or a lazy afternoon at the beach. Ufff, it’s flawless.
