Although this fragrance doesn't contain lavender, it clearly belongs to the fougère category. It smells bright and festive, which makes it quite pleasant and balanced. However, the price they're asking for it is clearly inflated. It's just an overpayment for the brand name. Perhaps the perfume is too fresh and needs time to unfold, or it has a low concentration, making it seem diluted. In the end, it seems the intention was to create a light and pleasant everyday fragrance. Perhaps for some, its intensity will be enough, and they won't have to wait

I agree with Dmitry, this is such an overused option, it's just awful. If Elise knew this was another knock-off of Paco Rabanne's "1 Million", then after spraying it on herself and catching passersby's glances, she might wonder if it's unisex. The scent is so familiar to everyone that no one doubts it's masculine. Yes, it's sweet, but if you overdo it, it just becomes cloying. Knowing it's a women's fragrance, I would never dare to wear it out in public, no matter how much I liked it. Modern ladies, it seems, don't care at all what they put on, as long as it's fashionable. It's unclear whether it's a lack of money or a desire to look more brutal and rough. If you still decide to buy, "1 Million" can be found in any perfume store, and this is just an affordable copy, Sean John didn't invent anything new

The fragrance, judging by the reviews, clearly raises questions. I haven't read all the opinions, but by the names, it's clear that mostly women are writing. This is strange for a men's perfume. Most consider it more feminine than masculine. Only a couple of comments mention that it might resemble something masculine. The rest share their impressions of how it develops on their skin. This cannot be a coincidence. <br><br> Personally, it also seems more feminine to me. The floral notes, especially rose, are too bright and don't add masculinity. On clothes, the fragrance develops interestingly, but on the skin, this tartness pulls it towards the feminine side. The quality, of course, is top-notch - the longevity is impressive. An oily stain has been on the table for two days, and it seems it will stay longer if not removed. I have my own testing methods: a table for concentration, a hand for longevity and development, and a shirt sleeve for comparison on skin and clothes

So many reviews, and no one noticed that this scent simply copies Paco Rabanne '1 Million'. For me, it's a direct resemblance. If you're a fan of '1 Million', then this option, five times cheaper, will be an excellent choice. But, honestly, I could be wrong, so it's best to test it before buying. The scent is very bright and intrusive, perfect for a day off, but not the best option for work. In the office, everyone will praise it at first, but then there will be those who say it's too much. If your job is outdoors, then you can use it every day. The fragrance pyramid is strange, there's nothing that could explain this suffocating sweetness with notes of vanilla, amber, and patchouli 😲

I agree with the opinion that this is a pretty decent and, importantly, inexpensive version of Hugo Boss Bottled. I can't say anything about the longevity yet, I only just got it, so I haven't had a chance to properly test it

At first, I felt some sluggish autumn leaves on this fruity-berry base. Then suddenly these leaves changed to a tea note, although there's neither tea nor leaves in the pyramid. Probably it's the rose playing tricks. In the end, you can't tell if it's autumn or tea on this fruity-berry base. By the way, the sweet base reminds me of Layton by Parfums de Marly, at least that's my impression. But Layton's longevity is much better. Overall, not too bad, I need to wear it more and figure out this rose (tea-like, yeah) I've heard fragrances where the tea note sounds simply excellent, for example, Imperatrice3 (if I'm not mistaken) And this option for men is quite good

I'm not sure if girls would like this fragrance, even if men wear it, let alone wearing it myself. It's clearly masculine. There are many fruity, floral, and citrus scents out there, but this one is more vegetable-like. You can really smell the carrot. Such a fresh, high-quality carrot. Yes, there are some woody notes and sweetness, but for me, carrot is still front and center. And it's not juice, but rather an oil, very rich. Otherwise, the scent is quite pleasant, I don't detect any chemical notes. I'd give it a four for performance, as it's an eau de parfum, and the longevity is a maximum of half a day with three sprays. For the composition, no more than a three, because niche fragrances often go into strange experiments that are far from mainstream appeal, and out of ten, only one or two might be successful. The other eight or nine are a complete disappointment. Definitely try before you buy 🛍️
