For me, the scent is more fruity than floral. I don't see any connection to previous versions. Flowers only start to appear after a couple of hours, and vanilla and caramel are only felt in the base. Fruits and berries remain throughout the entire wear. Overall, it's a very pleasant and positive scent that doesn't resemble anything else. I can't say it's super long-lasting and loud, I smell it on myself for about 4-5 hours, but there seems to be no sillage. At least, no one complained or left comments

Today I decided to take the bottle out of the closet, I hadn't used it for a long time, but my friend wanted to try it, to broaden her perfume horizons. We tried Champs-Élysées EDP, Alien Sublime, and Catch Me. One spray each on blotters, and then we went out into the fresh air to evaluate the scents 🌼 Five hours later, I returned to the room, and Cacharel had filled the entire air! And the window was even slightly open. I've never noticed such longevity in other fragrances! 😳 It's even scary to imagine how much those around me suffered when I used this perfume, as I would use no less than 3-4 sprays. Yes, it really does resemble Alien. But for me, Mugler is more pleasant, and Catch Me is sweetish with a touch of sourness, if you can say that 🍬

I found a 2008 bottle. What can I say, the modern version is completely different, only some general features remain. I have both the perfume extract and the eau de parfum. The modern ones sound very bright, with anise and citrus notes. But the old version is more like a pure perfume. Almond, anise, and musk here sound very loud and rich. I was looking for the old release because of the powdery notes, but alas, I don't smell them. But my love for L'Instant Magic remains unchanged!

What an amazing fragrance! First you smell champagne notes, which quickly disappear, and in their place, something amazing unfolds. It's not just a scent, but a true fantasy! There's no usual sweetness or floral notes that are so common. You feel freshness, but not like in ordinary air fresheners - it's something completely different! It's hard to describe, it's truly unique! Yes, unfortunately, the sillage isn't that strong, and the longevity leaves much to be desired. But despite that, it's still magnificent!

Sugary water. The scent is quite simple. Mostly I hear vanilla, a little coconut and fruits. This is more of a beach perfume. Nothing special, although the pyramid looks interesting. I bought it blindly through an exchange, if I had tried it beforehand, I wouldn't have taken it

The fragrance absolutely doesn't match the stated pyramid. On the blotter, it seemed interesting, but on the skin, a too obvious note of men's Invictus appears. Over time, this masculine note only intensifies. In the end, I didn't like it

How can anyone not notice that this fragrance is nothing like Cinema? 🤨 I agree, Lalique really does resemble sweet black tea, freshly brewed. But Laurel, for me, is something else. Yes, the notes are there, but they're like in the background, just background music. The fragrance, though bright, doesn't press on your brain, doesn't suffocate, but creates a light atmosphere. But, honestly, I don't understand how one could perceive it otherwise 😒
