Another perfume my mom used in my childhood; recently I bought a mini to smell that curious little bottle again. The opening is a bit weird, but it settles into a pleasant green lilac with coconut water. As it dries, the coconut water (which gives a special touch within lilac florals) takes center stage until everything disappears after about 7 hours, which I think is pretty good longevity for this type of perfume in winter. Feminine, modest, summery, and very 90s; it feels like the typical perfume you wear right after a morning shower on hot days, before putting on a simple dress and eating ice cream with your friends. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 7/10
Another classic from my childhood; my mom always wore it. I got a mini to relive that scent and see that peculiar bottle. The opening is weird, but then it settles into green lilacs with coconut water, very pleasant. As it dries, the coconut (which gives the lilacs their special touch) takes the spotlight until everything fades after about 7 hours—a decent longevity for winter. It’s feminine, discreet, summery, and very 90s; it’s the perfume you wear right after a shower on hot days, before slipping into a simple dress and going for ice cream with your friends.

I found it and was so happy, but only for a short time. The spray was the kind that unscrews, easy to break. The scent was awful, nothing like what I remembered. It’s a shame, it’s no longer available, and I’m still looking for it. I absolutely loved that mix of lilacs and coconut.
Another ‘ice cream’ scent, alongside two Comme des Garçons, Eau Torride by Givenchy, and probably one more. Tocadilly felt like opening a fridge full of lilacs and cucumber. It had an amazing touch but wasn’t childish; perfect for an adult. The opening was gorgeous: almost frozen cucumber freshness with bell-like glimmers of lilac and hyacinth. Then it shifted to a soft white floral with mauve nuances, where the cold cucumber lingered to add a soapy, cerulean vibe. I usually don’t like edible notes, but they fit well here because it wasn’t literal cucumber. A pretty, refreshing, unpretentious perfume, à la Rochas or Nina Ricci’s Les Belles, which made fun, youthful fragrances that were still well-made. Maybe it seems dated now, but I love it.
To me, it’s a fresh perfume with no notes that make it penetrating; it feels almost like talcum powder. I recommend it for women who like soft scents; I think it belongs in the same group as Lavin L’Incrédible or Forever Elizabeth by Elizabeth Taylor. Very discreet.

This perfume is super potent. It has a very marked floral note with a touch of coconut and cucumber that gives it that soapy effect. But watch out: it’s one of the florals that makes me sneeze. D:
