A perfume with a different vibe… so delicious!

I love it for autumn and winter: it lasts a long time and has excellent value for money. It’s a classy scent and not invasive. I recommend it without a doubt.

Perfect for cold weather, lasts all day, and worth every penny. A classy scent that doesn’t overwhelm. I’ll definitely repurchase.

Finally got my hands on it. While it didn’t disappoint regarding quality for the price, the scent wasn’t surprising: after two minutes, it smells like my signature fragrance, Eau du soir, but a lighter version. No projection; on my skin, it lasted 10 hours close to the skin without leaving a trail like the original. If you love floral cypresses and don’t want to spend a fortune, this is a top choice.

I loved it! Never saw it again. I had it in the 90s, and that touch of rose with a hint of acidity was unique. What a shame it’s gone…

Exquisite fragrance that I used for years. It’s potent, ideal for winter. Even though I’m not a fan of roses on their own, the blend with other flowers and components makes it unique and magnificent. You clearly detect cilantro, fruity notes, Brazilian rosewood, and cardamom, but also jasmine, ylang-ylang, and tuberose. What really makes it last are sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, vetiver, and incense, a perfect combination. It’s timeless, though heavy for the cold, with lots of personality. 2022 Note: I love Adolfo Domínguez’s fragrances, the waters, because they last forever on my skin and project beautifully—exactly what I look for in an imported expensive perfume at an accessible price. I have the White Rose Fresh Water, which smells very similar to Pierre Cardin’s Rose on my skin, which I used for years and can no longer find in my country (I think they discontinued it or stopped importing it). I recommend it for night and winter, just like the Rose. If someone loved that perfume and can’t find it, give this a try; it’s very similar. Hope my review helps.

Beastly, a gem in perfumery. Smells like rosewood, and although it’s not listed, to me it also smells like pink pepper. Reminds me of Swarovski’s Aura but more balsamic and with more body. A cousin of mine living in Switzerland wore it and brought it back; it was a joy to smell.
