Life by Esprit for Women Esprit 2003

With some fragrances, I wonder what had to happen for the manufacturer to come up with the name. "Life"... a pretty individual association, but one thing is almost always true about life: it's multifaceted.

And that's exactly what "Life" is not. I suspect the manufacturer confused the words "Life" and "Lively" when naming it. Lively, the scent definitely is.

The bottle already conveys a lively, friendly impression with its cheerfully colorful swirls. The fragrance starts off strongly zesty-fruity, somewhat synthetic. But once you get past the sweetness shortly after spraying, a pleasantly subtle amber-wood note develops over time. For a while, I perceived it as a feel-good scent... which may also be because I only used it during my leisure time.

It's an affordable and likable everyday fragrance, too light for winter, too intense for midsummer. All in all, quite nice.

So, the bottle has been empty for a few days now. Is life over because of that? Definitely not, as it hasn't been a candidate for repurchase for quite some time.
