Don't Look Back (In Anger) - a phone call
Yes, please? Ah, Mr. Basi, nice of you to call.
Yes, I have received your fragrance and have already tested it.

Don't Look Back, right? - oh, don't worry, Mr. Basi, I will definitely not look back. This generic something you're offering me here is far too irrelevant for that. Nobody turns their head after that.
Why, you ask? Well, just take a look at this perfume. The bottle itself is so boring and meaningless, even the metal lid doesn't help.
What, the label? So please. I haven't seen anything so cheaply stuck on for a long time. It makes an almost amateurish impression.

Yes, the inner values, good that you mention that. It's no better on the inside than on the outside, Mr. Basi. You see, that's a very nice basis in principle: fresh, very sweet, light, suitable for parties and clubs. It will certainly make young people happy, but... this fragrance offers nothing else. And it's so terribly synthetic, it smells like it's been mixed together in a flavor laboratory. There's nothing natural about it! Or in it.
Yes, it really is, I'm telling you! And it gets even worse, the synthetics keep increasing as you go on! Yes, you'll be amazed! At least, and I will give your product credit for this, it is a little unpleasantly sour at first, but that goes away later. So at least ONE aspect is improving.

Longevity? Yes, you'd probably like that! you can be smelled relatively well by others for 2 hours, then your scent no longer projects properly. And after 6½ hours you can still smell it on your skin at best.
Yes well, the price is totally fine for that, you're probably right.

Are you serious? Will I recommend the perfume to others? God, no! This thing has neither a pretty shell nor a beautiful core. It's a really unnecessary artificial product that nobody needs and nobody asked for. It really has no reason to exist.
Now please hold back with the bad words, my dear Mr. Basi, that's really not our level! Yes, as far as I'm concerned, just don't send me any more fragrances. I'll survive it.
Yes, the same to you. Goodbye again.

He has something
Without having a particularly keen nose for the individual components of a perfume, I can only relate to how I like the overall composition (and whether my girlfriend jumps right on me when I wear the scent)

Both is the case here.

Except vanilla, I can identify nothing here but since I got in the summer in Mallorca a sample of this in the hands, this fragrance has not gone out of my head.

Have then for the birthday of acquaintances a 100 ml bottle imported and yes,
the first impression was sobering
Flacon is little pretty, lid is absolute crap and disassembles itself from the first second and you also have to spray at least 5 times to perceive him at all.

Does it last long? At least on the sweater I take him even 2 days later still perceive and look forward directly to slip in again.

Is he well received? Better feedback I got at least from my better half so far on hardly any perfume.

Is it my favorite fragrance currently? In any case, it has made it into my top three despite the qualitative cutbacks of the presentation and fits surprisingly well in the summer, so also in the cold season.
My interest in vanilla fragrances has been piqued and I think it definitely deserves a little more attention.
Especially if you are interested in less common fragrances.
