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.

I chose this fragrance for my mom for New Year's, and I hit the mark with the gift, it suits her perfectly! Bright, long-lasting, and with a gorgeous sillage. Honestly, I'm surprised that a fragrance not for young girls is designed so girlishly 😊 The bottle is heavy and unusually shaped. I can't figure out why, but I distinctly smell sandalwood in this fragrance, even though it's not in the pyramid

What an amazing fragrance! It simply astounds with its longevity and sillage, I can't believe it's an eau de toilette. I tried it completely by chance, a friend left me the remnants, and after that, I immediately decided to buy myself 50 ml. I won't attempt to describe its smell, but I truly fell in love with it
4/5

The fragrance is truly versatile. It's fresh, pleasant, and not too intrusive, what makes it an excellent choice for any occasion. On me, it garners many positive reviews. It unfolds especially well in warm weather, but I happily use it in winter too. The longevity is also pleasing - one spray lasts all day!

I adore this fragrance! It's simply amazing, magical, and unforgettable. If I had it right now, I would gladly immerse myself in its world. This scent reminds me of New Year's Eve and childhood, when I felt on top of the world with happiness. Something special was in the air, and my favorite New Year's fairy tales were on TV. An atmosphere of happiness and joy reigned in the house

In my opinion, this fragrance has no naphthalene, no indole, no old-fashioned notes at all)) It opened up for me as something completely new, reminding me of L'interdit by Givenchy. So much so that someone familiar with that perfume even asked if it was what I was wearing. It has that very Isabella grape, although it supposedly isn't there. The fragrance is bright, even loud, full of life, boldness, and juiciness. For me, it's like a ray of sunshine and a feeling of happiness. Honestly, I'm surprised by reviews that consider it something for older people. So, if you decide to try it, it's better not to do it blindly 🌟

The smell, of course, is simply explosive! 🎉 If it weren't for my husband, I wouldn't have even noticed it. This perfume struck me with its unusualness and character! 🍐 Pear notes combined with naphthalene - that's something else! I really like it, and by the way, my husband does too. But, honestly, such a scent is definitely not for everyone… it's just too original! 😄
5/5

The fragrance is very bright, flowers and fruits dominate, no sweetness or woody notes. A purely floral and fruity bouquet! But, to be honest, it's more suitable for older women. It reminds me of the Champs-Élysées, although there you can smell cats, and here there are some chypre accents.

The fragrance turned out not to be for me. In principle, there's nothing strange in its pyramid: flowers, patchouli, vanilla, and even cedar. But the combination of pear with indole causes me discomfort.
2/5

Indole is simply front and center here, you feel it from start to finish. The fragrance is truly heavy, with a clear retro accent. But against this backdrop, a modern fruity scent is also heard, as if two fragrances from different eras were mixed. I didn't like this experiment at all 😒

The fragrance is really bright and rich, it attracts attention. You can feel ripe pear, sweet pea, peony, and patchouli in it. The longevity is pleasing, and the sillage is also noticeable, which is a pleasant surprise 🌸

At first I thought this fragrance wasn't for me. But I was wrong. Really wonderful floral notes and a light pear appear. I'm not sure yet if I should add it to my collection, but it definitely catches attention 🌸

The fragrance is indeed sweet and green, with a floral accent of sweet pea and honeyed pear. It's definitely more mature, and honestly, the bottle doesn't quite match what's inside 🌸
5/5

I tried it in the store and, honestly, quickly forgot about it. I put it on my wrist, and it stayed with me all the way home, even after washing my hands. The scent is simply amazing, sweet and luxurious, with an incredible sillage! I definitely want to buy it! 😍
3/5

This perfume is floral, bright, but there's something sad about it, like a childhood memory. The scent reminds me of paints used at school, but not in a joyful way. It lasts long on clothes, almost all day, but the feeling that something is gone doesn't leave. The bottle looks positive, but inside it hides melancholy. I'll use it, but with a slight sense of loss 😔

This fragrance didn't grab me at all, definitely not for me. It smells like something from the distant past, as if created for older women. It seems to suit only those who have long passed the threshold of maturity ((
