Tested on a friend, I actually wanted the original SiSha but then I looked more closely at the bottle and discovered the Private... the fact that they have to make a thousand offshoots of every perfume annoys me, pure money-making, they should rather focus on a high-quality, new composition... anyway, different topic^^

Stylish, classic, elegant bottle with a durability that is high for Davidoff (6-8 hours) and mediocre sillage.

The scent is fresh and quite synthetic, citrusy at first and rather sporty, but then it becomes increasingly masculine... it then moves into the lavender & leather direction which I like and fits best with the Private addition... an all-year & all-weather scent, with a Private addition I had hoped for much more sensuality & sexiness.

An adult, almost old-fashioned and grayed-out perfume with good values, but without real appeal and close to boredom...

Actually a very nice scent...

..., but, why actually??

The "Private" wasn't really that bad. A fine little water, at least that's what I think. But it's been at least 1 1/2 years since I emptied that sweet little bottle. :) The small flask would be something for the ladies, fits well in the culture suitcase. ;)

Now, what does the "Private" have that the regular SiSha doesn't? Good question? I just liked the "Private" somehow better, but I don't know why. I know that my dad had the regular SiSha at the same time.

Let's talk about the fragrance notes. It's quite difficult for me to recall them from memory right now. From what I see in the description, I would say the citrus/bergamot notes in the top are there. However, I wouldn't have guessed that if I had sprayed it without prior knowledge. What can be sniffed out is the lavender. And the heart smells really good. There is a bit of synthetic presence, but it's an elegant synthetic. I don't find it bad.
I don't need to say a word about the base, to be honest, I have no memory of it.

All in all, a good perfume. When spraying, it's enough to just lightly press the dosing head down, a decent fountain comes out front. And the longevity was quite good as well. It must have been around 5 hours.

You can "actually", although, you can probably have it in your collection. I believe it won't offend anyone and will be accepted. :)
