A Journey to Antiquity and Back

Well, then I will write my first perfume comment...

It was an experiment, as I usually only use original scents. I ordered Donna by La Rive because I always liked "Light Blue" in some way, but it didn't develop positively on my skin. Well, for €12, you can't lose much.
Upon spraying, the scent is super fresh, citrusy. I see myself as a child sitting next to my mother in a tour bus, and she is wiping my hands with a refreshing towel.
After 5 minutes, the scent somehow develops into something masculine. I am still sitting in the bus. We have taken a time trip and find ourselves in ancient Greece, and through the window, I see sculptures with the inscription "Nikos," and a Minotaur stands right next to it, a woman named "Paloma P." is holding his hand.
After an hour, I get off the tour bus again. We have arrived at a clear, blue, cooling lake. It is called "Light Blue."

I never thought that an inexpensive dupe scent could occupy me so much and develop so obscurely. You can somehow smell that there are no high-priced ingredients in this little water, but it's still interesting.

The one from Aldi, Anna Biondi, is amazing. For me, it's identical to the original.

You smell it similar to me. The longevity isn't great, though. Trophy+

To me, it smells like toilet cleaner and after 5 minutes, it's no longer noticeable.

I find it much more beautiful than the expensive original...
