The scent is very light and watery. A coolness is felt thanks to notes of mint and rosemary. The citrus accents are pleasing, they're not too intrusive, but the blackcurrant note seemed a bit strange to me.

I see absolutely no difference from the classic. They're just identical. The bottle, by the way, is awful, that black ribbon around it looks like something for a funeral 😒

The scent is quite cool, with bright herbal notes, but at the same time, there's a noticeable sweetness and berry accents. It's fresh and slightly tart. It smells pleasant, but honestly, there are plenty of such perfumes on the market, even among inexpensive options

Too sweet and cloying. The flowers in this vanilla delirium are just overwhelming. The scent is certainly bright, but more suitable for holidays than for everyday life. Personally, it's hard for me to wear, but from afar, it probably looks chic. Overall, for me, it's something beyond all praise, but not for every day

To the fragrance: Carven Paris Izmir

The Orient here is unbearably boring. Bergamot is too bright, and rose is just annoying. Myrrh with patchouli creates some oppressive atmosphere, and sandalwood adds nothing but a feeling of heaviness. The scent seems too dense and intrusive, the sillage just presses on your brain. Longevity, of course, is there, but that doesn't make it any better

To the fragrance: Jo Malone Lemon Tart

A cake with cream and lemon zest - that's cute, of course, but a scent that was once cozy now only causes irritation. I only wore it at home, and even then reluctantly. In the end, I gave it to my sister because I couldn't stand it due to morning sickness. A complete failure, to be honest

To the fragrance: Gritti Damascus

The fragrance is really soft, with sunny notes where you can feel cinnamon and citrus. This combination sounds very interesting and warm. It definitely belongs to niche perfumes, and I would recommend trying it )

I wondered for a long time what unisex was doing here. I liked your version on this, the fragrance is really suitable for romance
