The scent is simply amazing. Although it's no longer in the catalog, you can buy it on the secondary market for a quite reasonable price. The opening notes can be safely skipped, they have nothing to do with the actual scent and disappear very quickly. In the heart of the composition, you feel lactonic notes, clary sage, and warm spices that create a cozy atmosphere. It's not too loud or heavy, rather intimate, although I wouldn't mind a longer trail of such beauty. I haven't encountered anything similar before, though they say it resembles Copal Azur, which I haven't gotten to yet. It's interesting that both scents were created by the same perfumer - Bertrand Duchaufour

The scent is indeed feminine and very clean, but not in the sense of being fresh. It's devoid of any strange notes. Despite all its pros, it's not for me. The white flowers in it are too pronounced, and that's already something more mature

This fragrance is no longer as simple as the 2012 flanker, and its concept is completely different. There's no longer that sharp marine freshness and citrus notes that were there before. Now it's a spicy aquatic with woody accents. It feels heavier, with a clear fruity sweetness in the background that intertwines with a light resinousness. In the foreground, there's salty aquatic and damp wood with a light citrus nuance. I can't say I disliked it completely, but I didn't fall in love with it either 🤷‍♀️

What a great fragrance! From the first notes on the skin, you can feel blackcurrant and melon, and the melon doesn't smell artificial, which is nice. Plus, light fresh notes of green tea add a special touch. The passion fruit is sweet, but not too much, just right. Now I want at least a sample of Benessere Rosa Dorotea. Overall, I liked it!

I remember how I used to enjoy fragrances, but now it all seems so distant. Liqueur and vanilla from Madagascar - sounds tempting, but these alcoholic notes, which are currently at their peak popularity, only make me sad. All the bloggers are raving about it, but it brings me no joy. Anise at the start - it's like a nail in the coffin, honestly, it might even put people off

This perfume is a real find! It's so fresh, with bright apple and fruity accents, I just can't get enough of it! Floral notes add lightness to it, and this scent really fills you with positivity. My mood lifts instantly! And the bottle is a whole other story, it's simply gorgeous

The fragrance is light and pleasant, you can really pick up the lavender and mandarin, and in the drydown, there's a slight tartness, like chypre notes. I think a lot of people might enjoy this one 🌸
