Supermarket scent
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a supermarket scent! Period.
To me, a supermarket scent is a fragrance that
1. Is cheap (less than 10€)
2. Often resembles a scent you know already
3. Has an eye catching wrapping (box and bottle)
4. Is sold in supermarkets
Know that this is not a professional definition- just my own homemade over the years.
Sense of Eden Butterfly Love was bought in a supermarket. It was cheap (I remember paying 7€). But it does not come in a colourful wrapping and the bottle design is very simple. The scent does not resemble any of the well known designer scents from any times.
With a score of 2 out of 4 I shall call it a supermarket scent.
The fragrance is not my favourite. The plum in the top is invasive, a bit cloying. The flowers in the heart, especially the violet and rose are very synthetic and the base is mostly musk.
Longevity is pretty good, more than 8 hours and sillage is more than an arm’s length.
Question is: do I want to smell like it?
No. Period.
