The fragrance, to put it mildly, didn't impress. Iris with magnolia, yes, but amber with vanilla at the end - that's just boring. The first time I applied it to my wrist, I thought I'd suffocate from this cloying sweetness. The amber isn't sharp, but also not interesting, it just creates an illusion of comfort, though in reality it's just mundane. Narcissus at the start - yes, sharp, but then they seem to become powdery, and that doesn't save the situation. In the end, the sweetness overpowers everything, and there's no elegance here. Citrus notes? I don't hear them at all, only lemon blossoms, and not very brightly at that. The sample I ordered the first time was original, but that doesn't save it. Creed samples are always in glass, but without a spray - that's convenient, of course, but it doesn't make the fragrance better

I just adore this perfume! Yes, at first it might seem a bit sharp and sour, but then it unfolds into an incredibly delicate and noble fragrance with notes of moss, iris, and hyacinth. Its freshness isn't watermelon-like, but truly crystalline, as if it glows. You shouldn't apply it in large quantities - you'll get tired of it. Better just a little, so as not to overpower. And the base - that's something magical! If someone doesn't like it, maybe they just don't have the original

After the first try, I was absolutely delighted! It's so fresh, light, and transparent, without any heavy notes. Just pure cleanliness and freshness! No sharp turns towards sour or sweet, just a pleasant scent. But, if you wear it all day, it starts to get a little tiring. There's a note that reminds me of Sycomore by Chanel, and it feels a bit too intrusive with its freshness and chemical undertone

In 2001, I tried to create my own natural perfume, adding ylang-ylang, vanilla, and other components. I applied it to test strips. Before that, I was given a sample of "Miracle" at the store, and I decided to try it after a shower. It seemed a bit sharp and peppery to me 😅 Going through the strips, I suddenly realized that such a wonderful scent wasn't my creation, but actually the sample. At first, the fragrance seems simple, but it doesn't get boring; it has its own charm. The main notes are magnolia, freesia, and red pepper. I tried mixing these notes, but couldn't achieve such magic. This is one of my favorite fragrances. I'm not sure about the modern version, but back then it was simply magnificent 🌸

This fragrance starts with a bright fruity note, like freshly squeezed orange juice. Neroli flowers immediately fill the air, but with a slight bitterness, which adds intrigue. I caught something similar to pineapple, although it's not in the official pyramid. Perhaps it's the play of jasmine and currant creating such an illusion. Cyclamen, in turn, brings spring freshness and lightness. In the base, a familiar vetiver accord with a subtle sweetness is felt, but there are more fruits here, creating a creamy texture. There's even a slight hint of children's chewing gum, which adds playfulness. Although blackcurrant is not my favorite, this fragrance is still very pleasant and life-affirming. Interestingly, "Bal" in Turkish means "honey," and this sweetness indeed evokes such associations

The fragrance is truly impressive; upon application, notes of tobacco, cypress, and spices are felt. However, with prolonged use, some unpleasant note appears, reminiscent of the sweetish citruses from DG Light Blue and Eclat d'Aprege. Maybe it's that iso-E-super, but only specialists can accurately say what they have in common. It's difficult to wear it constantly; it starts to tickle my throat and causes coughing. Others really like it, constantly asking what wonderful scent I'm wearing. I'd like to compare it with EDT. Lately, it's become fashionable to list the full composition of products so that buyers know what they're paying for. It would be great if all formulas were also written on perfumes. That way, if I saw an allergen, I'd immediately say: "Not for me" But no, it's still the same "know-how"

I once had a perfume released in 1998, and now I regret just giving it away because at some point I got tired of it. Only half a milliliter is left, and now it feels like a real treasure. This fragrance is one of the first where, they say, the Iso E Super molecule was used (at least that's what they write online). Despite this molecule, I really like it - it's gentle, sweet, peachy, though a bit monotonous, but incredibly pleasant. Online, it's called a "hug me" scent, and it really is! 🌸
