Rosy-creamy-well-groomed feel-good scent

Well, what's going on now?? I have so many fine, exquisite fragrances in my collection that no one cares about, and with this little budget scent here, people are following me around asking what wonderful perfume I’m wearing? My mom is visiting, sprays it on in my bathroom (she can use all my fragrances!) and can hardly contain her excitement, so I immediately bought her one too?

Interesting. Normally, hardly anyone notices how I smell. I don't either. At least not in public, at home yes. And usually, I hardly test drugstore fragrances anymore. Not because I’m a snob, but because for quite some time now, I’ve noticed a very specific synthetic budget vibe that is common to many drugstore scents. At least to my nose.

This fragrance was brand new on the shelf and caught my eye with its color and the hand-friendly bottle, and I thought as I walked by, oh, I’ll take a spray, it can’t hurt. And before I knew it, I was at the checkout with it. And not just once, I was at the checkout with it a second time. For Mom. And again. A bunker bottle for me. Because it’s really nice!

It wasn’t listed yet when I got it, so I had to rely on my own nose. But I could also smell (Pentecost) rose. Essential is not sweet, smells floral-rosy-creamy, well-groomed, and very pleasant. Four or five sprays are definitely fine, then those colleagues in question will follow you around. The scent is inexpensive, but doesn’t smell like it. There’s no scent development. It essentially stays the same from start to finish.

The only downside: the longevity. After about three hours, only a tiny hint can be detected. That doesn’t bother me. The bottle fits well in my handbag, so I just reapply. At this price, it’s really not a problem.

Conclusion: A successful drugstore scent for all occasions that smells more expensive than it is. For all seasons, for doctor visits, hospital and other visits, for before and after sports or for business - with this scent, you really can’t go wrong!

I definitely need to give that a sniff. I once sprayed a deodorant from DM quite generously, and I got 3 compliments in one day for it...

Oh, now I'm curious too. Your description promises a lovely everyday scent. I think I might just go for it without trying it first.

I enjoy sniffing perfumes while I'm out and about. There are a few "drugstore scents" that I really like. I'll definitely give this one a try when I get the chance again.

Funny, I noticed it in the list of new fragrances today too, even though I'm usually not particularly drawn to pink or Esprit. It definitely sounds interesting, so I'll have to give it a try soon. Thanks for the insightful comment!

How nice to read from you again. Great that you’re bringing this drugstore fragrance to our attention. I’ll definitely have to give it a sniff (subtly pulling my FFP2 mask down a bit). Enjoy your lovely new find!

Very nicely described! I usually find the Esprit/S.Oliver/Mexx scents too "sharp," but after reading this comment, I'll give it a sniff. Plus, the bottle is pink! :)

I'm always up for 'Cheap&Chic' tips! Not everyone has the budget for Tom Ford and the like.

Yes, the ever-present synthetic notes have been annoying me since it came out. It's a shame; you might miss out on some hidden gems at an affordable price.

I'll give it a sniff when I get the chance. There are also two perfumes from Mexx that I really like.

That sounds really nice. I'm not into the current mainstream fragrances either, but I perk up at the thought of less synthetic stuff ;)

How nice that there are still surprises in the completely unexpected corners. I've always believed that inexpensive doesn't have to be bad and expensive isn't necessarily good.
Great description from you, along with the joy of reading from you once again.

Such fragrances need to exist, and they don't have to be bad. :)
