The combination of rose and oud, of course, has become commonplace, and sometimes even tiring. But the fragrance is indeed executed at a high level. Soft, smooth floral notes combined with oud and resins create an oriental atmosphere, but without excessive pathos, very delicately 🌸

To the fragrance: Avon Maxima

I haven't looked at Avon in a long time, but now it's caught my attention again. The blackcurrant here is, of course, great. I've always liked cocoa notes, so that's also a plus. I'm curious how the immortelle will come through, as these are the first perfumes with it that I've heard of 🌟

Too many white flowers, and then this cloying caramel with resins! These flowers are just suffocating, it feels like you're in some sweet captivity. Cozy? Not at all! For this kind of money, you'd expect something more interesting, not this monotony. Reapply it? No, I don't want it ever again!!

The scent isn't bad, of course, but don't expect anything outstanding. It doesn't smell like chocolate here; rather, it's some watery fruity freshness, reminiscent of cologne. And in the base, there's a bitter powdery feel, which might be supposed to resemble chocolate, but in reality, it's just something indistinct. No bright notes to grab you, none at all!!!

To the fragrance: Balenciaga Portos

What a cool perfume! A soft chypre with leather notes, plus herbal and balsamic accents - just super! At first, when you apply it, you feel such a wormwood-herbaceous bitterness, but then it seems to fade, and the scent becomes softer, reminiscent of something like Benedictine. I tried for a long time to understand where this sweetness in Portos Cristobal comes from, which lasts from beginning to end. Eventually, I realized it's myrrh and labdanum doing their work. And also, with this bitterness, associations with honey come to mind - funny, right? The fragrance also has animalic notes, flowers and spices, geranium and jasmine. It's a true classic, yet it doesn't seem outdated. A real feast for the senses

To the fragrance: Valentino Valentina Pink

The bottle, of course, looks like it's for girls, but the scent - it's just HORRIBLE! It's so bright and intense it makes your head spin. The sweetness is simply unbearable. It reminds me of Intense Cafe by Montale, but with strawberry, which just ruins everything

To the fragrance: Class Sentiment

Here, the apple and green notes sound somewhat unnatural, with a bitter aftertaste, creating the impression that the fragrance is spoiled. I think many won't like it 😕

the scent is indeed spicy and quite tart. it's hard to tell right away if you like it or not. there's something intriguing about it, but at the same time, it's sharp. it feels like it could both attra...

Bottles that look gaudy don't make me happy either. It gives the impression that they are just cheap and low-quality.)))
