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.
Persistence

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 closed the Gestalt, and finally found an opportunity to try it! I didn't dare to buy it back when it was still on the shelves. But now I can say that this acquaintance is definitely worth it. It's a 90s fragrance, and I'm sure someone I knew definitely used it. It conveys such luxury and richness that it's unforgettable!!! <br><br>Fluffy fur, high heels, and expensive accessories - it's all about this. At the same time, it's velvety, soft, and very confident. A true feminine fragrance from head to toe! Tuberose, which I don't usually like, is present here, but it's as delicate as the other notes. There's a retro feel and an animalic touch, but for some reason, I don't want to run away from it or wash it off. Authored by Michel Almairac

Not quite my cup of tea, but I know there are those who adore this fragrance. It's no longer sold here, so it's become hard to get. It's very memorable, not for everyone, bright and fruity. Reminds me of something from old collections, like Lauren or Kenzo

The scent is clearly old school. The sweetness is too cloying, and the bitterness reminds me of medicine. This fragrance didn't work for me )

The opening of this fragrance surprises with a bitter-spicy accord, where galbanum and anise are clearly audible. Honestly, it's quite unusual. Then complex notes unfold: plum, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, and all of this continues to resonate with a spicy nuance. I can't tell if I like it or not. Overall, the feeling is strange and mysterious ))))

A perfume that never loses its relevance, that's for sure! The floral notes here are so smooth that it's hard to distinguish them. I bought a vintage miniature and now I dab it on my wrists, remembering how my mom had the same one in the 90s. Nostalgia just washes over me!

Jill No.4 is a fragrance that's hard to put into words. It just captivates you, and honestly, sometimes it even tears at your soul. Tuberose, plum, and spices - that's what sticks with you. Bright, loud, with clear femininity. Even though many refuse to admit its similarity to Poison, for me, it's obvious. This thread runs through my whole life, as if it's always been there.

Of course, No.4 isn't as smoky as some other fragrances, but the tuberose and coriander are clearly noticeable here. In terms of loudness, it's on par with Poeme, even though I have a modern version. For lovers of lighter and fresher scents like Lanvin D’Arpege Eclat or Bright Crystal Versace, it might seem a bit heavy. But those who appreciate true masterpieces will understand how beautiful No.4 is. It's a timeless classic, a luxurious floral fragrance that's perfect for special occasions. I'd wear it for an evening at a restaurant or an important event.

I found a photo of the bottle with a pyramid description online, but the structure there is slightly different. In any case, this fragrance leaves a deep impression on the soul

The fragrance is simply gorgeous! For me, it suits any time of year. It opens with stunning tuberose and fruits, as if they've been lightly smoked. There's such vibrant nature and wild beauty around. And yes, I can wear it with a dress, or with jeans and sneakers. Nostalgia. I already have this little bottle, it reminds me of something distant and pleasant )

Update: Oh, how long-lasting it is! I applied it yesterday, wore it all day, and when I went to bed, I was enveloped in a luxurious fragrant cloud. And today, I realize with surprise that it's still with me, it hasn't left me. simply amazing longevity!
4/5

This perfume just screams about itself! Bright, extravagant, floral-fruity, but not as cloyingly sweet as many others. The longevity is excellent, definitely an evening option. For me, it evokes associations with "golden autumn", but, honestly, it's more suitable for confident women, not just some girls )
5/5

The fragrance truly impresses with its power and brightness. On the skin, it unfolds more fruitily than in the bottle or on a blotter. There's something retro about it, but it's not for grandmas, it's for real ladies. At the same time, it's quite versatile and won't be too strict for its owner, although, honestly, you wouldn't wear it with sneakers (and I never thought I'd say that, as I'm usually against dividing fragrances by style or age) And, what's important, the longevity is simply amazing! The sillage from clothes is astonishing, I haven't encountered such a vibrant scent in a long time
5/5

Memories flood back when I recall this scent. I tried it many years ago, and honestly, it's truly bold and avant-garde. The description of it being passionate fully corresponds to reality. The fruits in it are as if enveloped in a haze, not dry, and the flowers are real loud accents. All in all, it's a real find that should be worn with pride and by no means hidden! )
5/5

How wonderfully the fruity-spicy notes unfold! Bright and luxurious fruits, with a light smokiness and spices, are simply mesmerizing! In the background, there's a pleasant floral-chypre base that adds charm. This fragrance truly transports you to another season - just one drop, and you're already in a warm, sunny autumn, far from the winter cold! 🍂
