I know Biotherm more as a cosmetics brand that produces expensive anti-wrinkle creams and such. Since there are always fragrance ingredients in such products, the transition to perfume is not too far. Nevertheless, I believe that different standards should be applied to perfume scents than to creams and soaps. Some things that are pleasant in those contexts can raise eyebrows as standalone fragrances.
Force is quite synthetic. This does not mean that it only contains strange chemical smells. There are a few points of familiarity. Force opens with a slight citrus note and then transitions into an undefinable green freshness that quickly reveals a very, very sweet base. However, one should not take the respectable notes of the fragrance pyramid too literally. I would describe this scent as green-sweet - a fragrance direction that is not very commonly encountered. Force reminds me of the unfortunately discontinued Adventure by Adidas, which represented this direction much more distinctly and interestingly. However, Adidas Adventure was a budget drugstore product, which is not to be expected from Biotherm. Here, 55 ml costs around €40, and for that price, you can already get "real" perfumes.
Still - Force is not bad, well-made, and acceptable as an everyday scent. With appropriate advertising, it will surely not be a flop. Personally, I am glad that my Adidas Adventure is not all gone yet.
