The Duracell Bunny Wore a Watermelon
So de la Renta is an optimistic and fresh floral-fruity scent.
At first, a sweet, ripe watermelon hits my nose, and unfortunately, it stays there and doesn't bounce around with its scratchy freshness, but rather lingers in my nostrils. I find this as exhausting as the hectic pink Duracell bunny.
Behind the exuberant watermelon, other fruity notes emerge that I can't really break down into the notes listed in the pyramid. They are more fresh, not overly sweet notes, and they are not berry-like either. Floral scents group around them, which I perceive as bright, especially white, pink, or softly yellow-tinged. Spring freshness. Again, I can't really assign the floral notes to the notes in the pyramid; I can't pick them out. If there were something about lily of the valley and honeysuckle, I would believe that too; there is a clean freshness and a certain coolness prevailing here. And still, the melon hovers like a spirit over the waters, if you can call this high-frequency shimmering and vibrating hovering. This irritates me, making me frantic and irritable. I think others would perceive the scent as energetic, energizing, refreshing, or stimulating. After a while, I get a real headache from it.
The base turns slightly soapy for me, still more fresh than warm, and I don't know how they do it; even the base still has a bit of calone-melon quality.
The longevity is good, especially impressive is the longevity of the watermelon. The bottle is beautiful and elegant, a gem on the shelf, fits well in the hand, and is easy to use.
After reading my comment again: This is not a teen scent; it is definitely suitable for adults. However, its elegance is spoiled for me by the watermelon. Unfortunately, I really can't do anything with this note.
Update on 24.11.: I must apologize; now in the cold season, this scent fits wonderfully with me, the annoying watermelon has been tamed and no longer bothers, and everything is good, very good even. I now perceive So de la Renta as an all-around pleasant, cheerful, airy floral scent with fruity accents that accompanies me long-lasting and smiling throughout the day.
But who would even think that such a summery-sounding scent would be an ideal winter fragrance for me and a flop in summer? (Maybe I would, after all, I've already noticed that I find several heavy, oriental scents much nicer in summer than in winter...)

Ich würde auch nicht mögen, wenn mir ein melonentragendes Duracell-Häschen in der Nase rum tanzen würde :-) Schöner Kommi!
