Lady Cool Dueto Parfums 2012

~ Inspiration ~
I received a sample as a gift; before that, I had heard nothing about the brand or the perfume...

~ Bottle ~
The round bottle in metallic brown-pink has many capitals printed on it, giving it an interesting, modern look. The name "Lady Cool" strikes me as quite tacky.

~ Scent ~
Even with a cautious spray, it is very strong and intrusive. I can only confirm the comparison to the small chewing gums from vending machines; that was my first thought too - synthetic bubble gum and "Lady Million" by Paco Rabanne! With spicy cardamom and artificial orange blossom, it is also far too bitter and piercing for me.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts about 6-7 hours (on clothing and hair even longer). 1-2 sprays are more than enough, as it is very penetrating and the sillage hits hard at the beginning.

~ Occasion ~
It is most suitable for cold or mild evenings in spring and autumn. Absolutely unthinkable for the office or school routine!

~ Conclusion ~
I really like "Lady Million" by Paco Rabanne (when dosed discreetly!), but this knockoff is just something to run away from!
