Unfortunately not as hoped
How should one describe the scent? On me, it smells like stale fruits, paired with sandalwood, and somehow it slightly reminds me of the blue Sterilium. I find it suits a more mature woman. I had hoped that the honey would make it a bit sweeter, but unfortunately that was not the case. The violet also comes out after a certain time.

Successful floral-sweet all-rounder not just for the Queen
A lovely sweet raspberry is the first thing that stands out most dominantly in the opening of the fragrance. Followed by an orange blossom, which paired with a zesty lemon does not develop too strongly into sweetness. This creates a balanced fruity-sweet transition into the floral heart of the scent.

Jasmine and violet make the fragrance initially delicate, then in the further course quite dominant and powdery, which pushes the fruity notes into the background. However, they are not completely gone. Because in the base, I perceive alongside the chocolaty vanilla note also the fruity progression again. However, for my nose, a delicious peach has now crept in here.

The Queen is a very multifaceted fragrance with numerous facets. Sometimes fruity, sometimes powdery, then again gourmand-sweet and woody-warm. A successful everyday scent that offers above-average longevity.

Love it!
I have loved this scent since I first smelled it. This blend of raspberry-honey is addictive; I could smell it all day long. With about 2-3 sprays, I get through half the day, and after that, it still smells good for a few hours, but it becomes more intimate. The bottle is small and fits very well in my handbag for refreshing. But be careful with spraying too much; sometimes I can no longer smell it myself... according to others, it still has a strong scent.

Youthful Freshness and Elegance: Fruity, Powdery, Sweet
The Queen is a refreshing and youthful fragrance, at least that's how I perceive it. It reminds me of a walk through a blooming garden on a sunny morning. Upon the first spray, the sweet raspberry note immediately stands out, accompanied by a lively orange blossom and a zest of lemon that gives the scent a revitalizing freshness.

As it develops, the fragrance transforms into a gentle, powdery experience, primarily due to the jasmine and violet. The fruity notes from the initial phase remain present and add an interesting depth to the scent. In the base, a harmonious combination of chocolatey vanilla and a hint of peach reveals itself, reminiscent of sweet delicacies.

What particularly impresses me is the versatility of this fragrance. It skillfully shifts between fruity, powdery, and warm, and its longevity is quite remarkable. In my opinion, it is a straightforward and refreshing scent that is perfect for everyday wear and consistently offers pleasant surprises.

Dominant scent that unfortunately swallows fine nuances
In my opinion, the perfume smells too much of sandalwood; others, however, have definitely detected raspberry.

I find it very difficult to associate it with 'fresh'; to me, the scent is too overpowering.

Recommendation: order scent samples first, as scent descriptions do not always align with personal perception.

Very strong jasmine scent with a musty background note; honey and chocolate can't chase away the must, unfortunately.

The combination of fruits with vanilla and chocolate is well done here!

The Queen nibbles on the last raspberry + indulges in honey-sweet vanilla chocolate. The little nose freshly powdered. Wrapped in sunny O-flower.

Sunny, radiant orange blossom, elegantly framed by fruity freshness and a light powdery sweetness. Well done.

Oh, this one is beautiful.
Orange blossom, radiant, bright.
Lightly powdery, sweet, but not too sweet.
Only slightly fruity. Well done!

My girlfriend wears it daily. I think it has a strong and pleasant honey note with white flowers. Very fresh, delicious, H/S good.

The scent itself doesn't smell bad. But the H/S are extremely terrible... It's outrageous to charge so much money for this... Never again...

Not very fruity on me, but strong, slightly indolic white florals with honey. I really like that ;)

The scent is very beautiful, subtle, warm creamy, I smell a delicate lemon with gentle flowers. Unfortunately, the longevity isn't great.

Any floral scent with minimal citrus. Drugstore quality (though there are better ones here).
