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.
Sillage

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.

This scent seems to transport you to a world where a special atmosphere reigns. Creamy and nutty notes intertwine with a rich burgundy rose, and a light lychee aftertaste adds freshness. It truly creates an intimate and harmonious sound. In winter, it's simply impossible not to love it; it gives a feeling of coziness and warmth, but at the same time causes sadness that all this will someday fade 😔

I detect a chocolate note in this fragrance, possibly due to the nuts. I like nuts, but the rose here is too intrusive. This, unfortunately, spoils the overall impression. I'll probably look for something similar, but without that lipstick note 😕
3/5

The scent turned out to be too cloying for me. Rose soaked in sweet fruit syrup, and chocolate with nuts create a strange combination. It's something unusual, but definitely not for everyone )
4/5

The scent is really gentle, you can feel the rose with a hint of nutty powder and a tiny bit of sour lychee. The longevity isn't great, but overall it's very pleasant, projecting at an arm's length 🌸
4/5

The scent wraps around you like a dusty pink mist. You can detect notes of nuts and chocolate, as well as something green and grassy. It is very bright and intense, not for everyone's taste. The longevity is impressive, and the trail leaves a long aftertaste )

On me, this fragrance unfolded as a thorny rose, with notes of nut shells and some indistinct fruits. Honestly, it didn't make any impression on me. For me, this is probably the most boring of all Faberge perfumes
3/5

The smell, to be honest, is strange. In open sources, there are only three notes - hazelnut, Turkish rose, and lychee. Yes, I sort of smell them, but not the way I'd like. This perfume is simply suffocating! There's some kind of nutty powder, very intrusive and long-lasting. The rose, it seems, creates this powdery note. At the beginning, there's a tartness from lychee, but it quickly fades, and sweetness appears instead. But strangely, those around me smell chocolate and green nut, which I don't perceive at all
1/5
1
The rose doesn't look very appealing, rather like it's been through a lot. The nuts are such that you don't even want to try them. And to glue it all together, they added some sticky fruit syrup. It's an acquired taste, let's just say
2/5

Cocoa with nut and rose - sounds interesting! Although the pyramid isn't fully complete, these notes really stand out. The scent confused me a bit, it's somehow unusual and not very balanced 😅
4/5

What an amazing scent! It's so rich and sweet, with nutty notes, just incredible. In cold weather, it unfolds especially well, creating a warm sillage. Rose is certainly present, but it seems to hide beneath the rich gourmand accords. A true delight!
3/5
3
What an amazing scent! It's sweet, gourmand, and you can really feel the rose in it, as if wrapped in chocolate with nuts. Lychee adds an interesting accent, but honestly, I think it smells a bit intrusive and flat. It's definitely not for everyone, an acquired taste, so to speak
3/5

This fragrance for girls is simply gorgeous, but not too "edible" 🍬 There's no chocolate here, but notes of cocoa and roasted nuts are clearly felt. The rose in it is sweet and sour and very pleasant for the nose 🌹 But overall, it seems a little disjointed, as if all the components can't find common ground. You want to perceive the nuts with cocoa and the rose with lychee separately, not together 😅
4/5

What a rich and sweet fragrance! It's truly interesting and gourmand. Notes of nutty praline, dark chocolate, rose, and lychee create an amazing combination. But the lychee, perhaps, is a little too much in this mix 😊
4/5

When testing the fragrance, many more notes are felt than stated. Such a sparse pyramid is surprising. Besides the listed ingredients, I clearly smell chocolate and vanilla, a little sandalwood. The fragrance is not bad overall
4/5

I tried the scent blind, without even knowing the name. Usually, I read reviews first-they catch my eye-and then look at the notes. I applied mugwort, but not the simple kind, but the steppe, shrub variety-it smells different. I immediately felt praline and chocolate notes, even though patchouli usually comes through on me. I got that lipstick vibe, so there must be rose in there. There's a fresh vibe-maybe it's rosemary or sage. Citrus notes are weaving in too-bergamot or lemon. The scent is very long-lasting; even after a shower, I could smell dark chocolate. In the end, I found hazelnut, rose, and lychee, but couldn't find any herbs, patchouli, or praline
