Red Apples on Vanilla Cream

So, just a quick comment on Suddenly Diamonds before it finally disappears from the shelves at Lidl.
I came across the fragrance when I was actually just looking for Madame Glamour (due to the enticing comments here). While I was at it, I also sniffed Diamonds and "Wow... does that smell good!" were my spontaneous thoughts, so I had to buy it immediately.
At that time, I didn't know Boss Orange at all, but I have since smelled it and can confirm the very strong similarity. Colour by La Rive also smells exactly the same.

What I smell most distinctly in Diamonds are sweet red, sliced apples (with a minimal tartness) and orange blossom, garnished with a big dollop of vanilla cream and served on a wooden plate.
The fragrance doesn't develop much on me; it only loses some of its red apple fruitiness over time and becomes softer and more vanilla-like until it gently fades away after about 4-5 hours. I don't know how the longevity is with Boss, but at the price of 5 euros / 50 ml at Lidl, the mediocre longevity doesn't bother me too much. The sillage is good with three sprays, and when I spray the fragrance in my hair, I can still smell it clearly in the evening when I move my head.

I find Suddenly Diamonds really extremely delicious and believe it can be worn year-round and for all occasions. Its fruitiness makes it suitable for spring and summer, and the vanilla also fits in autumn and winter (especially since the fruits in this fragrance work very well for the cold season). The vanilla and very slightly woody base also prevent it from coming off too childish. So, a true all-rounder, in my opinion.
A very nice sweet-fruity gourmand that I don't want to miss anymore!

I like it too and don't think it's any worse than Boss Orange.
