Pura Vida by SIU smells of coconut, flowers, and gum for the first five seconds or so, with a pleasant tartness at the opening 🍋🟩 No chemical vibe, and I liked it more than their Dolce Far Niente in a similar style; at least the sweetness is softer here. But orange blossom still isn’t my thing. After a while, the scent started reminding me of Lav. It’ll suit anyone who likes orange blossom, neroli, and citrus
On the skin, the fragrance unfolds beautifully. At first, it seems unisex and quite pleasant, and then an interesting nuance appears. The rose here is good, without excessive acidity or oiliness. I'm sure it will also look great on a man
I really used to like this fragrance. I remember how at first it delighted with notes of roses and raspberries, and then sweet caramel and vanilla accents lingered on the skin. Everything was so delicate and refined. But, it seems, I overdid it, and now, when I smell it, I just want to breathe fresh air
This magnolia didn't impress me, and in perfumery, I'm not always thrilled with its scent either. Although I have warm feelings for the flower itself, as my grandmother had a tree in her garden that always bloomed profusely, and its scent was simply magnificent. But in this fragrance, in my opinion, there's too much greenness and almost no floral essence 🌿
This is my first attempt to dive into the world of niche perfumery. I studied various fragrances for a long time, looked around, and finally chose Water Calligraphy by Kilian. In the store, I first tested Oud from the same brand. The scent was really beautiful, but it turned out to be too heavy and overpowering. Honestly, it even scared me a little. So I decided to ask the salesperson to show me something lighter. And then, the second fragrance - Calligraphy. It sounded elegant, subtle, and airy on me, but there was something bitter in it that left an unpleasant aftertaste
What a cool scent! Sweet, delicious, and just fills you with energy. It's something like apricot-nut nougat, with such a lovely hint of bitterness. Absolutely thrilled, I adore it!
Honestly, this is just nonsense. This scent is totally not my thing. The jasmine here is just overpowering, and this bitter-salty sweetness - that's just weird. It's too loud and bright, like it's trying to scream about itself. Mature, yes, but not in a way I like

Surely, it's not a fake, it's just that the perception of smells changes over time, that's all. Scents from different countries and years can also vary greatly
The pepper here perfectly highlights the rose, like a master giving it the ideal shape. It's just delightful! ))
