Another gabbana another disappointment
The gorgeous bottle made me obsessed and was desperately trying to get a tester to try - as i now avoid blind buying any gabbana flankers because of many disappointments especially linked to their mediocre performance - and this one was quite expensive to say the least.
I finally could get my hands on this one (i ordered a tester), and was happy i didn't purchase it. It smells exactly like my hands soap that costs 4€ (Baylis&Harding The Edit Cherry Temptation). The cherry here while pleasant and lightweight, is nothing new; any cheaper alternatives of cherry for 5€ would smell the same and the cherry here takes the lead for the first 20min (we only smell it). With a barely perceptible sillage (no projection at all).
After cherry disappears, you directly sense a weird mix of poorly blended jasmine/vanilla (it remains a skin scent) ; it's like the intense a version in the dry down where we can still sense a little cherry in the mixture, you take that and remove the cherry.
Overall the longevity is approximately of an hour on skin, with a mediocre projection for 10 min before becoming a skin scent. Overall this fragrance despite of its magnificient bottle, is ridiculously overpriced and so not worth it. I found it to be a waste of money even if you absolutely adore cherry scents; i'm sure better alternative out there exist for cheaper price, there is absolutely nothing extraordinary (either the scent with the simple cherry smell or its performance) about this fragrance.
