Different than expected.....

I confess, I am a lover of fragrances with extensive ingredient lists.....very much in the style of the great old classics....

Especially when a fragrance pyramid gathers just about everything that has rank and name ;-).....Civet, castoreum, tobacco, a sea of flowers, and on top of that galbanum, lavender, and coriander......

However, with this one, I have the impression that it is "LESS" than the sum of its parts.....if I had to sum it up, I would say:

We have here a citrus-floral scent dominated by white flowers.....without even the slightest hint of any animal facet.......I can't detect the tobacco, as a balancing element to the floral sweetness, at any point......

Overall, the fragrance is noticeably lighter than the pyramid suggests.....perhaps this is due to the usual temperature conditions in its country of origin, Spain.....

Those who prefer something light, white-floral, floral, and rather sweet might enjoy Buleria.....

Here in Spain, we also like to have a good time :)
The fragrance, with its lightness, fits quite well into the year 2000, but in my opinion, it also references the late '80s. Just saying.

I have to agree with you - a sweet, gentle floral scent, quite pleasant but ultimately lacking that special something.
For everyday wear, though, it's definitely a nice perfume.

Citrusy-floral and not overly opulent is actually a nice surprise.
Sweetness, however, isn’t necessary.

Very well described. I don't like animal notes, but just flowers aren't great either.

I understand that the pyramid raised different expectations.

I'm also a fan of expansive to excessive fragrance pyramids, like it was common until the late 1980s. The Ellena/Geza Schön approach to fragrance notes isn't usually my thing ;)

I love Spain. But the scent doesn't really appeal to me right now.

According to the ingredient list, one might expect a very opulent scent. But the reality is probably a bit different. It still sounds nice though :-)

Well... that sounds less exciting to me now... But I don't have to want everything, do I? :-))
