Cloying fruity amber
Personal: 6/10 – Dark, sweet, fruity, and a little musky. It's super synthetic and cloying, though.
Mass appeal: 8.5/10 – Sweet berry amber is easy to enjoy, it's just headache inducing to some.
Performance: 5/10 – Stronger than most body mists, but still a mist. Doesn’t last long enough.
Value: 8/10 – Affordable, popular, and does what it’s meant to do well.
Uniqueness: 5.5/10 – A generic “sweet evening scent” DNA, though elevated compared to other B&BW mists.
SCORE: 66/100
Full bottle buy? YES, if you like B&BW mists, but I wouldn't, since this gives me headaches.
Blind buy? YES, super safe, sweet, and mass appealing, but beware the synthetic nature.
Recommend? YES, especially if you want a “night out” mist at drugstore prices.
Date night? YES, sweet and musky enough to feel romantic.
Office safe? NO, it's too loud and sharp to be good for the office.
Pros: Sweet, dark berries with musky amber depth. Affordable, and smells expensive.
Cons: Still synthetic, still short-lived, and not really unique. And still headache inducing,
People like this because it smells way more expensive than it actually is. That said, however, it still smells cheap and very synthetic. Enough so, that it leads to me getting a headache whenever I smell this fragrance specifically. It's like sandpaper in my sinuses. But that's a subjective problem.
