My first impression of the fragrance that arrived today: Beautiful, feminine charmer.
It opens fruity with lychee and a little bit of bergamot; I don't consciously perceive the pepper.
As it develops after half an hour, the iris increasingly comes through, making the scent very floral and powdery.
The sandalwood in the base supports this flattering and, in my opinion, feminine composition, which is so well-balanced right out of the box. Perhaps the praline adds a bit of warmth and softness. Cultivated, gentle femininity.
I was worried I would regret this blind purchase at that price. The CDN Woman was not for me at all; it was too overpowering and perfumey. The CDN Imperiale was nice at first, but over time it became too much for me.
The Maleka is truly royal and fairy-tale-like. Soft, enveloping, flattering. Confident yet appropriately understated. I already love it! I am usually very picky with floral scents, but this one is special, it has that certain something.
It really smells high-quality and is suitable for the whole year, although I find it perfect for spring and summer.
Whether for everyday wear or a special occasion, I think it is very versatile, as it doesn't scream too loudly and isn't too heavy.
I'm currently waiting for the sample I got of this fragrance and I'm really curious. Sounds very intriguing. Let's see if I notice the similarity to "Very Good Girl." I think the scent is okay, but I don't need an alternative ;)
Of course you can ask! For me, it has nothing to do with Vgg at all, more like what I described in my statement. Beautiful, lipstick-like, powdery, raspberry-like.
