Had potential to be good

I am really baffled @ D&G for creating this Anthology collection. All of them are a miss for me except this & No. 1, and even these two are NOTHING to brag about but they were the only two I owned so here goes.

La Force is right up my alley. Gourmandish, vanilla, light dusting of cinnamon, nutmeg & sandalwood. But when it is applied to the skin, it is one of the weakest fragrances I have ever came across or owned for that matter.

You literally can spray yourself ten times and this stuff still wont kill a gnat. Longevity in all seriousness is around 2-3 hours. Projection? Basically none exsistent! I see what D&G was trying to do, yet they failed miserably not only with this, but the entire Anthology line.

Judging from the notes, one would expect a heavy hitter or one that would hang around for a while, THE JOKES ON YOU! YES YOU READING THIS! It is everything BUT THAT! This would make a perfect gift for someone who does not really like fragrances, or prefers them soft & or for teenagers & those in their early twenties. I can't see a grown adult over the age of 25 taking this seriously, but then again people take the Easter bunny seriously so what the hell do I know?.

cinnamon is not my jam.

so i foolishly doused both my forearms in this at Ulta because all the reviews said that it faded quickly and i was going to make sure that didn't happen to me. yeeeeaaahhhhh...no. big mistake, hahaha. not only was it ever-present and potent and migraine inducing but i ended up walking around for the rest of the day reeking of a GIANT human cinnamon stick. i'm now turned off from that spice, like, forever. UGH.

Mashed bananas in golden syrup

La Force is fascinating to say the least, very gourmand yet sophisticated and stylish.

Perhaps due to the rich, yellow coloured liquid, I swore that I detected a banana note in the opening, rather like flambéed bananas drizzled with golden syrup. This initial scent disappears quickly though, giving way to a pleasant, soft floral blend.

The spicyness does take awhile to develop, but when it comes through, it is divine. This fragrance is not heavy, so those that tend to avoid strong, sugary gourmands, shouldn't be scared to try this one.

Although sweet and very dessert-like, (a cookie dough smell in particular), it manages to suit an older crowd and easily jump into unisex territory (the perfect mixture of masculine and feminine).

I did enjoy this fragrance immensely, however the sillage and lasting strength was pretty weak. I've been wearing this fragrance now for about 3 hours, and it is very faint, almost undetectable. If I loved this fragrance enough, I'd most likely decant some of the perfume into a purse atomiser so I could re-apply during the day.
