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.

A summer fragrance with fruity-citrus notes, perfect for everyday use. It's ideal for the gym, a run, or during a vacation. A real vitamin bomb to lift your spirits! Perfect even for teenagers 🍊
4/5

A scent that seems too simple and even banal. A sweetish smell of banana and other fruits, but it leaves no impression. Alas, there's no longevity, and it quickly disappears as if it was never there 😔

What a cool fruity fragrance from Mary Kay! My mood immediately lifts when I put it on. It's so spring-like and fresh. The bottle is simply gorgeous! The longevity is excellent, which is also a plus 🌸

Honestly, this fragrance doesn't impress my loved ones. At first, it seems strange, but after a few minutes, it turns into an ordinary shower gel. Although my family isn't thrilled, I adore it. For me, it's simply the perfect choice for sports ))

The fragrance is indeed pleasant and sweetish, but it doesn't have many nuances. Floral notes clearly dominate, I don't smell any fruit, although some claim there's banana. I'd love to share their joy, but for me, it's just flowers, and white ones at that 🌸

This fragrance clearly stands out with its banana note, which is quite bright. The floral accents and base resemble many mass-market perfumes. There's something that prevents me from enjoying it, I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I love fruity fragrances, but here the aftertaste leaves much to be desired. I don't detect any citrus notes, just bananas and sweet flowers
5/5

The fragrance is simply gorgeous, but its longevity is off the charts. At first, it's so intrusive, and then it gradually fades, leaving only a cool base. But here's the problem, I'm suffocating from it. It lacks lightness and freshness, it's just too heavy for me 😤

I recently bought this perfume, and it felt like it threw me back in time. After the first application, a strange feeling arose, as if I had returned to childhood, and I even remembered the street where I think I first smelled it. I can't figure out if I like it or not, but the sensation is unusual

I'm constantly drawn to this fragrance, but as soon as I try it, the desire vanishes. I chased it for a whole year, coming back without buying it. And now, finally, I decided and bought it

During my student years, I did an internship at an art salon. The director had this fragrance that simply captivated me. Every time she walked past, I caught its trail with such pleasure 😔

I've been using this fragrance for a couple of months now. At first, I asked acquaintances if it reminded them of soap. But something about it attracted me. Today, after a hot shower, I decided to try it on my skin: oh, how wonderful it is! It's definitely not for all occasions, more for a mood or a special moment 🌸

A fragrance filled with fruits, with a noticeable banana note and light floral accents. It's certainly not complex, but there's something joyful, sunny, and very pleasant about it

I remember when Velocity was once at the peak of its popularity and everyone was buying it. Even I liked it, but because of that very popularity, I rejected it. Time passed, and the fragrance came to me as an inheritance, but something about it started to cause repulsion. First, bright citruses are felt, which quickly disappear, and then some not-so-fresh fruity smell remains on the skin
4/5

Fruits in perfumery aren't my thing, but here I'm pleasantly surprised! Banana, specifically the one ripened under the bright sun, not one that traveled a long way to us - that's what I feel. This scent from Sicily Dolce&Gabbana fills you with energy, it seems to radiate joy. I distinctly sense both the banana pulp and its velvety peel.

In Velocity, there's a powdery note, but it's not dry, rather moist; citruses on my skin seem to play hide-and-seek, and woody accents only appear at the very end of this banana story. Berries and orchids weren't added here, but that's okay - there are plenty in other fragrances. I have a bottle a colleague gave me, it shimmers like an oil slick, and was created about three years ago. She couldn't stand citrus, and was shocked when she realized I smelled of banana and couldn't find any citrus)))) The longevity of the fragrance is moderate, a maximum of three hours, and that's just what's needed, it doesn't have time to get boring

Citrusy, bright, but alas, disappears too quickly. HORRIBLE
