This fragrance feels like it's from the past for me, a "sweet" retro scent. I first smelled it in childhood at a friend's house when she spritzed it from a white frosted bottle with a blue cap resembling a rosebud. And I decided to try it too! Several years later, I remembered it and went to a store, asking for "very sweet Barbie-style perfume." The saleswoman quickly found it, let me smell it, and I realized - this was it! I immediately ordered a 3-5 ml decant, and she put a little sticker with the name on it. I used it for a while, and then I put it aside. But three years later, I remembered Marina De Bourbon again and bought a full bottle. I was thrilled that there was such a perfume with a Barbie scent - now I only associate it with that. I really like the smell, although it is indeed very sweet. I sense blackcurrant and raspberry, crushed with sugar, as well as passion fruit with vanilla. It's the scent of winter holidays, fun, snow, and tangerines with cola. It lifts my mood! One guy said the smell was delicious but too sweet - everyone's nose perceives scents differently. I believe this fragrance is best worn in winter; it unfolds beautifully and nobly, while in summer it can be too cloying. It's also great for parties ;) I recommend it! )

How wonderful it is to be a gourmand in the world of fragrances! 😊 This perfume has become my true favorite. I was looking for chocolate perfumes and stumbled upon it by chance, immediately wanted it, and bought it. The price is quite reasonable, so I plan to stock up on a couple more bottles. The scent is truly rich, sweet, reminiscent of condensed milk with cookies. When you apply it, you just want to eat a chocolate bar, other thoughts simply don't come to mind :D This perfume lifts your mood, but it's better to wear it in winter so it can warm you up and unfold properly, whereas in summer it might be too heavy **For me, the scent is milk chocolate with vanilla, but not chemical, rather the kind you want to taste. Spices and a hint of cinnamon are also present. Sometimes I detect musk, which I'm not a big fan of. But this fragrance is amazing, it changes: sometimes it smells like milk chocolate with spices and vanilla, and other times it reminds me of corn syrup with waffles. Sometimes only musk with vanilla and delicate rose notes are perceptible. Many say that Choco Musk is better than Montale Chocolate Greedy, and I agree. I truly recommend Choco Musk, it's very appetizing. Men like it too, after all, who doesn't like chocolate? The longevity is good, about 5-6 hours on the skin, but I haven't tried it on clothes, I don't like when clothes smell of perfume

The fragrance immediately fills the space with raspberry and mandarin, creating a feeling of brightness and freshness, although there's also some heaviness to it. Sandalwood and vanilla are felt in the base, which, oddly enough, leave a very delicate trail 🌸

The fragrance is simply gorgeous! It's a real cocktail of raspberry and violet with added musk. Everything sounds very bright and pleasant, creating an atmosphere of femininity. It unfolds especially well in spring, I really liked it

The citrus and floral scent is delightful, it's truly light and feminine. Very pleasant, as if enveloping you in softness

These sparkles just beckon me to add them to my collection, even though I know they won't help preserve the fragrance. But looking at such beauty, my soul simply rejoices ✨

This scent clearly reminds me of ginger, but not fresh ginger, more like pickled. Honestly, I can't imagine how you'd wear it 🤔
