what a gem!

this is such an underrated gem! got this at the drugstore for 9.95€ and boy do i love this. smells powdry and sweet and will linger for a looong time (better than some expensive ones that i have). i find myself re-applying it a lot, not because it doesn’t last long but because the scent is just so lovely. if you’re looking for a nice and soft spring perfume, try this one out!

A Question of Definition

Snobbery does not spare perfume lovers either, and perfumes that can be bought cheaply at drugstores are often sniffed at and ignored by perfume enthusiasts. But does it really take exotic, extraordinary raw materials to create a good perfume? That is - like so much else - a question of definition and personal taste. The French comedic playwright Jean Baptiste Moliere (actually Jean-Baptiste Poquelin), who dedicated his comedy "The Miser" to greed and avarice, is said to have remarked:

"As if it were an art to prepare a decent meal with a lot of money! It's child’s play; even the biggest fool can manage that. Those who understand their craft need little money and still cook well."

Who stood at the stove with what budget in the case of "Definition" is unknown to me. However, the result is a pleasantly powdery everyday scent that can easily compete in longevity and projection with some higher-priced products.

Let’s not linger too long on the question of the sensibility of celebrity fragrances. I suspect that the production of these scents has to do with the namesakes and that the respective celebrities are not remotely involved in the composition of the fragrances.

The first seconds of "Definition" are characterized by light citrus notes; apple and mandarin join in over the course of a few minutes to round off the opening.
The fact that there is no impression of a fruit basket here is due to the gradually emerging vanilla note combined with flowers (according to the manufacturer, orchid), which gives the fragrance a powdery creaminess. One must have a certain fondness for sweet scents to appreciate this. The woody-sweet base of "Definition" begins to peek through after about 30-40 minutes. My nose can detect musk and heliotrope. Like a delicious dessert, "Definition" envelops the wearer in a powdery cloud. This dessert does not necessarily shine through particular sophistication, but it has something comforting, especially on gray, dreary rainy days like we have had several times this January - somewhat like a vanilla pudding cooked by a loved one, which you know and enjoy in the right moment. Furthermore, "Definition" is not overpowering and can thus be worn well to work, a shared restaurant visit, or at the cinema.

I find the longevity of "Definition" to be average. After 4 or 5 hours, I can still perceive it when I have applied it to my wrists and neck in the morning. The (very, very pink) bottle fits well in the hand, and the spray head makes dosing comfortable with a pleasant fine mist.

I received "Definition" by Christina Aguilera privately through indirect means. So far, hardly any drugstore scent has been able to convince me, but "Definition" stands out positively for me through its longevity and softness.

Heavenly Scent

One must admit that Christina knows how things work. For drugstore fragrances, none smell like a generic blend or are just unidentifiably sweet as one would expect. Definition can easily throw expensive designer scents overboard.

Right from the start, the vanilla orchid is clearly noticeable, and it remains perceptible in one's nose until the end. Simply delicious, even my 15-year-old daughter says so. I don't perceive the apple, which is good; it seems to be perfectly dosed so as not to take center stage.

It's a pity that the bottle seems to only be available in a size of 50 ml, so one has to repurchase more often. Fortunately, however, the perfume is not expensive and is available almost everywhere.

Christina goes Joop

Just came back from the drugstore. Of course, I briefly tested the "new" ones on the shelf. The appearance and color of the bottle secretly made me hope for a delicate powdery dream. First impression: Hey, hey, could this be something serious between us? First, let’s buy the really necessary things. Every 2 minutes, I had my nose on the test strips. Powdery? Yes. Soft? Yes. The typical drugstore note? Not at all. Something is really bothering me! It must be that extremely synthetic vanilla accord that triggers such discomfort in me. With that, I was done with it.
However, I was even more preoccupied with the question of what it reminded me of. Youth, the 90s, I didn’t like it back then either. It took a little while, but then it hit me like a ton of bricks: "Le Bain" Joop! Exactly 1:1, but the original from the 90s, not the new version.

Christina under the Christmas Tree

I must confess that Christina usually ends up with me.

Hardly a scent of hers that I haven't snagged.
And so Definition has definitely pleased me as well.

I’m floating on pink clouds after the first spritz.
So fluffy - so soft - like an Angora bunny.
I’m in a cuddly mood.

The flowers are gently powdered - and the woody notes are transparent and flexible.
The mandarin adds a clear aquatic touch.
A smooth scent with quality.
Moreover, the Aguileras are very fairly priced.

I mentioned to my husband, somewhat "casually," about Definition - but Christina was not under the Christmas tree.
Instead, there was another really beautiful scent.

But in February, it's my birthday.
Maybe then Christina for Tina?

Dry powdery, sweet-silky party girl scent with early 2000s vibes. But different + prettier sweet than many current girly fragrances. I like it!

Interesting scent, sometimes reminiscent of licorice - Katjes. Then vanilla-floral, orchid, very beautiful and new. I bought it right away. I like it.

What a beautiful, powdery scent. A fragrance that will probably suit everyone. Sweet baby powder, apple, and white musk. ♥

Anything but a natural scent! But that's what makes it interesting and appealing in its own unique way. It's worth a try!

Unfortunately, it doesn't smell like Vanilla Kisses at all for me, but rather an unevenly sweet, somewhat disharmonious scent with a few notes that bother me. What a pity.
