About this deal

Occasion: To be used in daily basis, work, does not bother anyone, you feel clean and fresh, as fresh from the shower. I had an intuitive hunch to try this after smelling this on someone and remarking that it really smelled extremely GOOD on this woman. It was just the right amount of spice and sweetness to have made me ask her what she was wearing. So this one is an interesting one. I grabbed this as a very adventurous blind buy. I like different scents and not boring freshies or blues. Edit: i ended up returning the perfume, as i just couldn’t find the right time to wear it, and it would make me a bit nauseous (i think because of the booziness).. It is not a perfume I would always use, I do not have a good relation with some fruits, kkkkkkk, mainly kiwi and strawberry, what you can feel during the course of the perfume.

But what is that Caviar lime? Is the Citrus Australasica - a plant with citrus fruits, peculiar format and fully differentiated pulp, which looks like caviar, but does have a citrus flavor. It can have various colors and is also known as Finger lime. Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct EDT Men is a great, mild, sweet, melon, tonic water, gin, suede, and violet leaf fragrance. This was one of my signature scents in the past. After a few years and several bottles my nose changed and I started to feel something really synthetic that I couldn't really smell before... but I don't hate it. It's still a great scent and it brings me many good memories.

Most people say it's a clubbing or a night out fragrance and they are correct, but to me, it's pretty versatile as well. You can pull this one anywhere you like, even at the office, in case you wake up in "what a drag" mode to merry things hopefully, but don't push it. Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP is a superb, strong, spicy ginger, sage, juniper berries, apple, bergamot, vetiver, tonka, and woody fragrance. Is it very different because it is an EDP? No. The other fragrances of the 212 VIP universe always functioned in a similar way and they were made in Eau de Toilette concentration. Passion fruit and rum are included among the head notes of this perfume. Next heart notes of gardenia and moss move in. Finally the base of vanilla and tonka bean climbs to complete the olfactory experience. (Tonka beans come from Latin America. Are not only a favourite in perfumery, but also a gourment treat in many cuisines) The warm, sensual notes of this oriental make it a top choice for blue hour. Carolina Herrera-Fragrances Price UK

The bottle of 212 Vip Rosé Eau de Parfum is a beauty apart, perhaps the most beautiful of the whole line 212 women, keeping the magnetic cap, but with beautiful finishing in rose gold tones, giving the sensation of luxury and sophistication. I'm testing this with 3 other Caroline Herrera samplers to start and look forward to seeing how this sets up on my skin and wears through the dry down. This is good so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds on the skin and what this does with my chemistry. I bought this fragrance when willing to chose between one of the Dolce&Gabbana scents. I found them way too heavy and peppery on my skin so I asked the assistant to show me something more fresh and sweet. After smeeling loads of perfumes I found Herrera's Rose' suprisingly fruity and joyfull. I've decided to give it a try buying a set containing also a fragranced body lotion. I think it was a great choice, my boyfriend just fell in love with this scent and he always says that he admires the way how the perume matches the natural scent of my skin and how it lasts on the pillows and bedlinen even when I'm gone. I actually wore it tonight, 5 sprays total, and I smelled the wafts for 3 hours....And it was awesome!By the way... my husband hates it and I don't understand why. He doesn't know why either, but he hates it lol. Thankfully for him I wasn't wearing this everyday anymore when we first met.

If you're into Pure XS by Paco Rabanne and you like the boozy cola vibe, then this one will take you to the next level. This fragrance smells fantastic, it is one of my favorites. I would love to wear this perfume on a daily basis but it is not powerful enough in me. Its sillage is very poor, imperceptible, others can't smell it even at your side. Of course, they can feel it if they hug you. On the skin, it lasts approximately 2 hours, and on clothes it can last up to 5 hours. The bottle i own is 2022 batch, so looking at the votes for longetivity here (with majority on long lasting), was it reformulated so badly at some point? As some people in the comment section mentioned - this seems to be a clubbing scent, so maybe it will come alive in warmer months (as I'm rather not clubbing person myself), fingers crossed if that's its original purpose. This perfume does not have Ultra Male specs (regarding projection or sillage) but it is also not one of those fragrances that disapears completely after 1h of application. I believe that this is one of those fragrances that can be used in any casual setting because the the scent is pleasant and easily likable, so in my perspective the young crowd party setting in the promotional ads can be ignored. In terms of similarities, I don’t see any resemblance with the fragrance of Pure XS (Paco Rabanne). In particular, I think the latter belongs to a completely different category, in which myrrh is vivid. But this is subject for another review!OCCASIONS: Outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays, vacations, romantic, dating, clubbing. This is an office-friendly fragrance. Quizás es mi pH, pero se siente como si fuese un EDT cuando ya comprobé que es original. Si este perfume es compatible con tu pH, es un perfume rico, para usarlo a diario, ya sea de día o de noche.

It ain't bad though it's inoffensive, at least from what I can smell but i'm pretty nose blind to this I just smell aldehydes, vodka and a bit of sweetness and menthol Further, for what is ostensibly a "club" fragrance, the sillage leaves a lot to be desired. To me, even if you are someone in your early 20s or even younger, I still think you would be much better served going with an option like Ultra Male or Wanted by Night. Particularly if you're a dry-skin type like myself.There's no rose in this because rosé (notice the accent mark acute) in French means pink. It refers to the pink champagne note. That note is bubbly and a bit fruity. I did for a while smell something like litchi in this, and that can be a bit "rosy" in scent. For some that think they smell rose, that might be what you're smelling. A very woody drydown with amber and musk lingers for hours. I get pepper even though it’s not listed in the notes, but i seen a lot of people smelling this note too. I start this review with a note: the term “Rosé” comes from a type of champagne. It has nothing to do with the rose, the flower. I have seen so many people asking about the "rose note", that I thought I should clarify this point.
