It's not often that I buy fragrances without testing them, I always want to understand how they'll behave on the skin, how long they'll last, and what notes will emerge. But this time I decided to take a risk and trust a well-known name that has pleased me more than once. And it wasn't in vain, the fragrance really impressed. First, you feel spices and citruses, but then the spices remain, and the citruses are replaced by coniferous and honey notes. This combination with spices sounds very harmonious. Vetiver and moss unfold in the base, and although the base seems a bit soft for such a composition, it still fits well into the overall impression. In the end, I can't say for sure whether I like this fragrance or not, but it definitely leaves a mystery

What an amazing fragrance! It really stands out among many others, although, unfortunately, not everyone appreciates it. I don't understand why that is, because from the very first application, it's clear there's a perfect balance here. Coniferous notes and spices combine beautifully, and the mossy-woody base with a light hint of vanilla is simply delightful!!! This perfume is suitable for both winter and summer, and its longevity is impressive - it lasts at least eight hours on the skin, and the aftertaste is felt even longer. On clothes, it stays until the next wash. The fragrance unfolds magnificently, notes replacing each other with astonishing speed. Citrus notes disappear quickly on me - that's a peculiarity of my skin, but I'm not worried about it, because the other notes sound simply stunning

I couldn't find information about Bel Ami Vetiver by Hermes 2013 in the encyclopedia, but if I find anything, I'll definitely share it. I can't help but comment on it; it's truly an interesting perfumery work that stands out for its uniqueness. Its character is so original that it can't be compared to any other Hermes fragrance. The mandarin opening is simply captivating, so dynamic! But other citrus notes are clearly present in it too. Maybe it's bergamot or orange peel? Or even petitgrain? I can't say for sure, but it sounds very bright and appetizing. This opening doesn't last long, and soon soft leather notes come to the forefront, and the freshness recedes into the background. The transition to vetiver is simply chic; it's gentle and refined. Powdery notes are also clearly felt, perhaps it's iris. In general, in my opinion, the fragrance is definitely worth attention )

How cool is this! A true masterpiece of perfumery! Simply a perfect fragrance! Here, burnt herbs, the smell of leather and musk are blended, and this stunning bouquet is so bright and straightforward that it's definitely made for a real man. Leather comes first here - it's true brutality and masculinity, with musk right alongside it. The scent evokes cowboys roaming the wild prairies. In the sillage, noble cedar and a touch of citrus freshness for piquancy are felt. And, of course, that magnificent smokiness at the end - simply gorgeous

Clinique Happy a couple of years ago was a true breath of the Mediterranean: fresh sea air, bright notes of ripe oranges, and a light bitterness of cypress that filled the space and left a pleasant aftertaste. It was a scent that truly inspired and lifted your mood 🌊 But what about now? You go into the store, hoping for your favorite scent, and instead you're met with some sickly sweet synthetic mix, reminiscent of cheap candy and soap 😒 This scent used to be considered unisex, but after the changes, it became something in between a teenage perfume and an air freshener. Complete disappointment. Now, it seems, it's better to buy a replica, which, by the way, resembles the original more than the original itself
