Very helpful Review

I wore rubber gloves during the second test,
because I have learned from my mistakes.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't have been enough for a statement.
I must also admit that I feel a bit ashamed wanting to surprise my girlfriend with this.
Armaf was only known to me so far through Club de Nuit, and they really did a good job for the few bucks.
So I ordered a perfume for myself (Armaf Niche white diamond) and without asking my better half, I also got her 2 from the Armaf brand. (Armaf Elite Woman was the second one and doesn't even appear here, which doesn't surprise me, because corn schnapps with a subtle floral aroma is not being evaluated here, but perfumes)
So much for that, and anyone who has read this far, save your money, even if it’s really not much, none of the 3 are worth it.
Step by step.
The box already smelled strongly of perfume shortly after delivery, even though it was sealed, and later it becomes clear why. Anyway, shortly after opening the just for you, it was clear which of the 3 scents had already put its "best" foot forward.
While the box still looks quite nice and there was nothing to complain about packaging-wise, the bottle was a different story.
Totally smeared and oily, it was leaking from the plastic cap and the sharp smell hit us immediately.
I understand how one might not know anything about women's perfumes, but it shouldn't smell like THIS.
Disgusting alcohol rose mush, an orange peak at the highest fermentation level. That's how Valensina smells when you take it out of the blazing sun after 2 weeks, after the bottle has already been open.
My colleagues and I were a bit grossed out, and my girlfriend bravely applied the "booze" to her delicate wrist, only to immediately remove it with disinfectant.
I often exchange ideas with my colleagues, as they share their passion for scents with me, but something so penetrating has never come across them either.
Vanilla, patchouli, and musk? Not a chance.
In fact, there is a scent in my girlfriend's collection that is strikingly similar to this one.
Girls can do Anything by Zadig & Voltaire. I admit, the top note of that scent is rubbish, but what it does differently is that it becomes very rounded after half an hour, you smell some musk and a splash of vanilla.
Sure, it costs 3 times as much or more, but the Armaf just for you remains just the drunk windshield washer fluid.
The icing on the cake was the cap. When you put it on the bottle, it triggers the spray and the slush runs out.
In principle, the perfume karma punishes me for wanting to be a penny pincher. Unfortunately, my thought was "Blind buy, if she doesn't like it, at least it wasn't expensive".
I am a bad boyfriend, she doesn't deserve this scent!
