A fragrance I would describe as something that could belong to Cinderella, but clearly not the one at 16. There's something in it that allows you to go to a ball, but only at night. And it's worth remembering: at midnight, everything turns into pumpkins and mice. It's sweet, long-lasting, sometimes even suffocating. It evokes midnight darkness, bright streetlights, and a slight hint of poison in a glass of champagne. It's both beautiful and terrible at the same time. Contradictory, yes, but that's why it's so close to me. Of all Dior fragrances, it's probably the most underrated. I had a very tender affection for it and now bitterly regret that it's no longer available

This fragrance came to me completely by chance, like many of my favorites. It really is one of the few light scents I can wear without feeling disgusted. For me, it reminds me of a morning moment in a botanical garden in spring, when the snow has already melted and the sun shines brightly, but the air is still cold. You step into this corner, and against the backdrop of greenery, bright flowers delight the eye. It's a combination of unusualness and sweetness, but not cloying, rather fresh. I'm just thrilled with it! Perfect for spring and summer 🌸

This fragrance came to me completely by chance, like many of my favorites. It's one of the few light ones that don't disgust me. For me, it's like a spring morning garden where flowers bloom after winter. The sun shines brightly, but the air is still cold. You step into this corner, and all around are greenery and bright flowers. Very unusual and sweet, but not too cloying, rather fresh. I really, really like this fragrance 🌸

I've been wearing this fragrance for three days and trying to figure out how it differs from the usual No. 5. On me, it feels lighter; at first, the difference is noticeable, but after a couple of hours, they become very similar. The classic version is sweeter and brighter, with lily of the valley clearly felt, while this fragrance lacks it. One is like a powder that has seen a lot, and the other is fresh, just unboxed, and light. This is undoubtedly a continuation of the classic No. 5, not something entirely new. I can't say it's a simplified version; rather, it's more modern and youthful. It will be great for spring and cool summer 🌸

Flower - it's just a discovery! 💖 I've been with it for ten years, and every time I apply it, I feel like I'm falling in love all over again. I discovered it by chance, and since then I can't be without it. On the skin, it unfolds as a delicate powder, but not a cloying one, rather a fresh one. Jasmine plays the main role here, and its scent is immediately noticeable 🌸

Chanel isn't about getting used to it, it's about whether it suits you or not. Light fragrances are hard for me to pick; they all smell like grass on me, but No. 5 is completely different. It's like delicate powder in an old box that has lost some of its shine but still looks appealing. Lipsticks lie next to it on the dressing table, and somewhere there's a vase with lilies of the valley. Silk peignoirs and stockings are scattered around. The fragrance isn't light, but it's not suffocating either. It's more suitable for an evening out than a daytime one 🌸

Anna Sui's fragrance was once a real discovery for me, especially in the summer. It's one of those few fresh and light scents that really develop well on my skin. Now I keep the last drops, more as a memory of what was, but sometimes I still apply it and remember why I loved it. This perfume always evoked images of a sunny field with orange trees and a light breeze. It's both light and bright. However, over time I started to feel its certain straightforwardness and excessive brightness, which became a reason for disappointment
