United Dreams One Summer by Benetton

LONGEVITY: 15 min of projection, 4 hours on skin. Very poor performance in my case. SCENT: On opening a very powerful citrus aroma of grapefruit, orange and lemon predominates, a very fresh aroma. Then with the dry-down the citrus aromas calm down, but the base remains, it becomes a bit greener and floral. A light lavender aroma emerges with like a touch of mint and ginger, but as I said it stays citrusy and green. Heart notes declare woody and amber notes. USES: It is an extremely summery scent due to its light naturalness. As its name “One Summer” indicates, it is ideal for summer or spring daily wear, its freshness makes it optimal for high temperatures. Its simplicity gives it a very youthful touch ideal for a teenager or even a child. SUMMARY: A light and simple scent that never fails. Very youthful and summery. Unfortunately with very poor performance which means you have to reapply several times during the day. Although the line was discontinued years ago. I would not recommend buying it since there are much more interesting options in this style.

Dry-down identical to Animale! Super longevity.

What can I tell you about this perfume, actually its longevity is very light, it smells really nice. Let me clarify that I’m a beginner in perfumery and this perfume was given to me in an exchange, it smells very good and I think it’s ideal for teenagers from 16 to young people up to 25 years old. It smells a lot like citrus and a little sweet but after a few minutes you notice something a bit woody, I also perceive it as fresh, I even thought it had mint notes because that smell reached me but now I see it doesn’t. I recommend it for school, the gym, for somewhat hot afternoons, outings with friends, a pool party day, something like that. And as I mentioned at the beginning, it lasts very little, on me it lasted around 2 hours at most and I had to reapply. I used this perfume to go to college and it was my signature, I received many compliments and I really grew fond of it because it was my first original perfume I had.

DURATION: 15 minutes of projection, 4 hours on skin. Very poor performance. SCENT: Opens with a potent citrus burst of grapefruit, orange, and lemon—super fresh. As it dries, the citrus tones down, leaving a green and floral base with a light touch of lavender, mint, and ginger, though it remains citrusy and green. The heart features woody notes and amber. USES: Extremely summery due to its light, natural vibe. As the name suggests, “One Summer” is perfect for daily summer or spring wear; its freshness makes it ideal for hot weather. Its simplicity gives it a youthful touch, perfect for teens or even kids. SYNTHESIS: A light, simple scent that never fails. Very youthful and summery. Unfortunately, the performance is terrible and you have to reapply multiple times a day. Even though the line was discontinued years ago, I don’t recommend it because there are much more interesting options in this style.

Citrusy and sweet fragrance, it has that exact combination. It starts with a sparkling citrus hit, full of sour orange, lasting about an hour before shifting to sweet, a bit cloying but not too much. At first, it reminded me slightly of Eternity Aqua. However, after an hour, when it turns sweet, it takes on a resemblance to Reebok’s Cool Your Body. It has very little longevity, only about 2 hours, which is a shame. It’s a nice perfume, smells clean, but lacks staying power on clothes. I wouldn’t recommend it; there are better ones out there.

What can I say? It’s very soft and short-lived, but the scent is top-notch. I’m new to perfumes and got this as a gift at a swap; it smells amazing and I think it’s perfect for teens aged 16 up to young adults in their 20s. It has lots of citrus with a sweet touch, but after a few minutes, you can detect a woody base. It also feels fresh—I almost thought it had mint because that note hit me, but now I realize it doesn’t. I recommend it for school, the gym, hot afternoons, hanging out with friends, or a pool party. As I mentioned, it doesn’t last long; it only held up for about 2 hours for me, so I had to reapply. I used it for uni and it was my signature; I received so many compliments and grew quite attached to it because it was my first original perfume.
