Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

I recently tried a new version of the fragrance, and I was already familiar with the previous one. I liked it. But the old release and the new version are completely different. This fragrance reminds me of the 90s, it's kind of sweetish-watery, but honestly, it didn't make much of an impression on me
2/5

Oh, this is AWFUL! In my youth, sure, melon and aquatic notes might have seemed special, but now it's just so basic. This scent is nothing more than a primitive blend everyone's sniffed a hundred times. No originality, just tired "freshness" I doubt anyone with decent taste would want to use it again. Maybe I fell in love with it when I was young, but now it's just laughable
3/5

The fragrance is indeed sweetish, with a distinct vanilla note in the base. But I can't quite identify it. It's like everything has blended into one, and I can't figure out exactly what I'm smelling

This fragrance is like a light trail that's always with you. No matter what you're wearing, when you wear it, it suits everything and at any time. It doesn't evoke any strong emotions, but that's precisely what's appealing. I like it, I've been using it quite often lately 😌

I recently stumbled upon this scent in a store and decided to try it. It's truly feminine and light, but at the same time, it evokes a certain sadness. Stylish, versatile, suitable for various situations, but its fresh floral sillage seems to remind me of something past. Unobtrusive, unpretentious, but there's something in it that feels outdated. It seems like it doesn't fit into modernity, and that's a bit disappointing
4/5

The fragrance I tried can be described in one word: SOOTHING. It doesn't rush, doesn't hurry, it just *is*. That's its special quality. It seems to freeze in place, and its notes unfold not sharply, but smoothly, as if slowly transitioning into one another. It's truly impressive
5/5

A wonderful fragrance, simply luxurious! It's both strict and tender at the same time, which is amazing. You immediately feel that it's not just perfume, but something truly expensive. Look at the composition: oakmoss and cedar - that always sounds special. The longevity of the fragrance is pleasing, especially compared to other expensive perfumes. Overall, it's a true classic, an excellent choice for reasonable money )
3/5

Yes, it's a classic, of course, but not an outstanding one. I enjoyed using it until I went on maternity leave; it was decent for the office. This scent somehow makes you feel put-together, but without seeming too authoritative. The description of the notes surprises me, because to me, it smells quite synthetic. Blackcurrant and green apple, lily and cedar - all are present, but as if frozen. Jasmine doesn't bring warmth, and sandalwood only adds astringency. Iris root might be what' hooks' me. I return to it when I want calm and inspiration. There's no love for it, but overall I like it 😒

This fragrance is simply a nightmare. No delight, only disappointment. My loved ones also don't understand how I could like it. No sophistication, just another mundane thing. I tried others, looked for something new, but it was all just a waste of time. I returned to it because I couldn't find anything better, but there's no joy in that 😒
2/5

The first fragrance I ever tried! How happy I was when I got this little bottle. But as soon as I opened it, I was just shocked! The smell hit my nose so hard I almost fainted. Real chemistry that can't be masked by anything. Fruits? No, it doesn't even smell like it! Just this sharp chemicalness. That's what I thought about this fragrance then, and nothing has changed now 😅

For my 11th-grade birthday, my classmates gave me this perfume, and it was probably my first "serious" luxury fragrance. It's fruity-floral, with a warm and dense base. And guess what, it has melon again! I only just found this out now while writing an article. I should buy it again to refresh my memories. I remember it smells really delicious and cool, that's for sure!
4/5

This was my first luxury perfume, and my memories of it are the fondest. It's light and effortless, yet it doesn't seem frivolous. The lack of sweetness, which I still can't stand, pleased me, and the freshness of flowers, fruits, and aquatics was perfectly balanced. The modern flanker is completely different, and the impression just isn't the same
4/5

It was sitting on my shelf, I'd almost forgotten about it. But today I gave it a couple of sprays and I'm just in shock from the pleasure. Such a soft and sweet note, no chemical smell, as it sometimes seemed. In my head, I picture a chubby angel generously sprinkling velvety vanilla from a cloud. This fragrance is simply divine, I've fallen in love with it again!
5/5

The fragrance is quite fresh, with floral notes, versatile and soft. It's not oppressive, but rather delightful. First, you feel a fruity freshness, and then flowers unfold: sometimes sweet jasmine, sometimes rough iris. I would describe it as cool, perfectly suited for summer days
5/5

The fragrance is undoubtedly impressive, but there's something too intrusive about it. It's as if it demands you to be perfect, and that's oppressive. The sillage it leaves sometimes seems too loud, not magical. Every new note that appears causes more bewilderment than delight. I also have a large bottle, but honestly, even that's not enough.!!
