This fragrance is too sweet for me, almost like pure almond with added heliotrope. It's clearly gourmand, but it doesn't make me want to eat it, although almond cookies wouldn't be unwelcome. In the background, there's a coolness, perhaps palisander, which prevents Tardes from becoming something light and airy like a macaron. The base has a sweet tonka bean powder. Overall, the entire woody line from Barcelona seems very sweet to me. Even Cuirs, which many consider masculine and compare to Black Afgano, smells not like leather or spices on me, but rather something sugary. Wearing such fragrances outdoors is pleasant, but indoors they can be too heavy. One spray is just right, more is overkill. The longevity is simply excellent, especially on clothes

I got a tester and I just can't figure it out. The top notes definitely smell of black tea with bergamot, and that's a good thing, because lemon in perfumery has gotten pretty boring. But underneath all that, there's some floral musky base that reminds me of my mom's shower gel or the scent of regular women's hand creams. The scent isn't offensive, of course, you can wear it, and I've even heard that I smell nice, but I'm not a fan of "clean scents." I don't like smelling like shower gel, it's not my style. I'll keep it for nighttime use, but I definitely won't repurchase, not even a mini version. I'd describe it like this: a well-groomed woman after an evening bath, with a cucumber mask on her face, brewing bergamot tea and applying night cream to her hands. That's how it smells. By the way, no cucumbers were added, though I wouldn't have minded 🌸

On me, it developed differently than molecule 09, which I would choose for summer. Here, berries are in musk, but with a light, tart undertone. Longevity and sillage are impressive, while the nine disappeared from the skin too quickly 😔

Can't say it's outright terrible, but you can definitely feel the chemical aspect, that's for sure. You wouldn't call it disgusting, but the raspberry-strawberry scent is just too childish, which limits its age appeal 😒

How pleasant it is to feel this fragrance! It's sweet, but at the same time very beautiful. You can sense the freshness of juice, fruits, vanilla, and the rich scent of orchid in it. For me, this perfume stands out among many sweet options; it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. There are interesting nuances of the tropics and oriental spices here, which makes it truly unique 🌺

The fragrance is truly impressive with its brightness and sweetness. It's rich, with noticeable peaches, rose, powder, spices, and musk. The opening with citrus and berries turned out to be quite misleading, but that only adds to the interest
