Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The bottle looks great with that blue stand, giving it a modern touch. The scent is a hit: at first, the patchouli and raspberry are quite sharp, but then it settles into a soft, little raspberry cake vibe. It smells like makeup and red berries, and it lasts quite well on the skin.
It’s a good perfume, but it just doesn’t quite convince me. Right after spraying, you can detect the peony with some fruit, maybe raspberry. Then it turns sweet, like pastries made by an expert chef. The first 15 minutes are delicious, but afterward, not so much; perhaps the floral and dessert notes just don’t blend well. I bought it yesterday thinking it was unisex, but it turns out to be very sweet and feminine, so I’m selling it today. The bottle is gorgeous and very futuristic. Be careful, the longevity and sillage are extremely intense. I’d rate it a 7.5/10.
