How sad it is when a fragrance evokes such mixed feelings. At first, it reminds me of that very rose water from Soviet times, but then. Oh, how wonderful it is! Delicate and pleasant, with simply excellent longevity. The blend of rose and peony here is truly impressive: sometimes a rose bush, sometimes lush peonies, as if they're in a bucket. Lilies sometimes break through, and occasionally magnolia makes itself known - such a playful bouquet that you just don't know what to think. The scent is clean and bright, but even though I'm not a fan of roses and peonies, I can't help but acknowledge its beauty. The bottle is original, oval-shaped, and I didn't notice any geranium or sour musk in it. I tested it on a spring day when everything around was awakening

Patchouli, and with mint liqueur - that's an explosion! It all drowns in chocolate candies, especially dark ones with praline. The sweetness is just off the charts, and the fragrance is so rich and languid. The mint accent perfectly refreshes, giving it a certain lightness. This is not a floral or chypre fragrance, rather a gourmand with an oriental touch. I look at the pyramid and am surprised how simply it could be described: patchouli, mint liqueur, bitter chocolate, and praline. Yes, it's synthetic, but that doesn't make it worse. The fragrance is really good, well-balanced, although the development and nuances are not so noticeable. Mainly, you feel a chocolate-patchouli sweetness with a minty accent. Longevity and sillage are impressive. The patchouli here resembles those in C`est la Fete Patchouli by Christian Lacroix, but softer and with a minty-chocolate base

The modern fragrance, it seems, is nothing like what it used to be. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try the old versions. I clearly detect peach, lily of the valley, narcissus, and honeysuckle, as well as gardenia. Perhaps there's also jasmine and orange blossom. But lily of the valley and honeysuckle against a backdrop of peach with a light creamy gardenia sound especially bright. Honeysuckle combined with narcissus gives a light honeyed nuance. A little bit of citrus, and yes, a slightly peppery cyclamen. The base consists of musk and modern moss with a light citrus echo (maybe lime or bergamot peel). It's like a spring blooming garden. The scent is delicate, floral, conforming to classic canons. Very feminine, smells like exquisite perfume. Longevity is simply excellent, the sillage is strong yet subtle. The pyramids differ on various websites. I tested it at +17°C, rainy weather, the bottle is a modern tester from America

There are plenty of fragrances on the market now. This one is quite nice and possibly a good choice if you like "compote-like" notes and need a light, unobtrusive scent. I perceive it as a mix of shampoo, fruit wine with candies, and a few floral notes 🌸

What an interesting fragrance! It's clearly inspired by Guerlain, but don't confuse it with Samsara - that's a completely different story. At first, you feel an accord that reminds you of Samsara: ylang and sandalwood, but softer. After an hour and a half, there's no trace of Samsara left. The opening is simply explosive, rich, even deadly, one might say. But, alas, it doesn't last long. Ylang and sandalwood start to play along with jasmine, and here it takes center stage for its solo performance. The jasmine isn't indolic, but it's so languid and bright, not sharp, but dense, with a light sweet hint of benzoin. Then it too fades, and the characteristic aftertaste of "Shalimar vanilla" comes to the forefront with a slight accent of sweet citrus notes. A bit powdery, warm, and languid - this aftertaste on my nose echoes Shalimar flankers like Eau de Shalimar Guerlain and Shalimar Souffle de Parfum. This accord stays with you for hours, until the last breath. On warm skin, the fragrance lasts over 12 hours. The sillage is moderate, but the longevity is simply excellent!

I read reviews about the perfume and decided to try it. Banya (sauna) is my passion! But instead of a banya, I only get a cedar scent that reminds me of it. I have cedar essential oil, and this perfume is indeed similar to it, just a bit sweeter and with a slight synthetic undertone, but that doesn't spoil the impression. The longevity, however, isn't great - a maximum of two hours, and the first half-hour it's bright, then it fades into a light woody aftertaste. I bought 120 ml, and although it's not too complex or deep, I like it. It's great for relaxation after a shower. If it had moss, it would be even better, but it's not bad as is. So choose: essential oil for 300 rubles or this fragrance )

A unisex fragrance. If many are used to Arab musks usually combining with vanilla, this perfume is completely different. It's green, woody, with a slight coniferous hint, delicate but not watery, very layered and appealing. Reminiscent of Molecule perfumes, but with more vibrancy. I feel cypress, light woody accents, ozonic freshness, and the musk here isn't sour, but rather warm, like skin 🌿 Imagine cypress branches laid on the finest silk after washing, after a thunderstorm, when the first rays of sun break through the clouds. This fragrance, like steam formed under the fabric, sounds exactly like that at the beginning. Then, when the bed is made, the freshness of ozone and greenery with a light warmth of the sun envelops you under white canopies. And in the base, as if a couple relaxed on this silk after a hammam, enjoying icy soda with a slice of exotic citrus. The sillage is clear but not intrusive. The fragrance is long-lasting but not tiring. It's cozy, with a warm freshness, clean, but not powdery ✨
