I've always thought that Mugler Les Exceptions fragrances are truly good. Each has its unique quality, but the main thing is the quality. They can evoke different emotions, but you can't fault them for low quality, even if you really wanted to. But with Naughty Fruity, it seems something is wrong. Only two components are listed in the description: plum and tobacco. This is a fairly common combination, especially for fruity fragrances. But Naughty Fruity isn't entirely fruity. It's hard to call it sweet. Initially, the plum sounds translucent and natural, but it immediately turns into a floral-musky note that too brightly demonstrates its femininity. It feels like something from the nineties - the smell of hairspray, deodorant, and synthetic jasmine bought at the market 🌸 Does this make the fragrance bold and sexy? For me, no. But this effect quickly fades. The plum doesn't become richer, but gains a certain velvety quality, as if a powdery iris note is added to it. But this sensation also soon disappears. The plum gradually loses its strength, and only an elegant musk with a light woody undertone remains. If 'fruity' is more or less clear, then where is 'naughty'? Is this fleeting nineties 'vibe' what 'naughty' refers to? Although, perhaps perfumery is indeed sold by its top notes. Naughty Fruity doesn't spark interest. It resembles an ordinary luxury 'fruit cocktail'. Yes, it doesn't have an excess of vanilla or sugar, but it's absolutely faceless. Of course, it has more than two notes: floral, musky, and powdery accords appear at different moments, but overall it remains boring. Too transparent, too timid, and without ideas. It's a complete disappointment. The first disappointment from the Les Exceptions line 😔
