A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

I ordered this fragrance blind after reading the good reviews here, and the price wasn't too painful either.

When it arrived, I eagerly applied a spritz on my wrist to test it out. And BAM, the aldehydes and pepper completely overwhelmed me. And I don't even like aldehydes. Moreover, it smells like particularly cheap aldehydes. So much for the opening. I thought: Great! Money down the drain!

BUT! After the top notes faded, the fragrance slowly develops... and in a completely different direction. The sharpness disappears entirely, and it gradually smells more high-quality, a 180-degree turn.

Then, after about an hour, I perceive a milky, creamy floral cuddle scent. It is not a gourmand, as some here write, because it lacks the typical gourmand sweetness. No, it is slightly sweet, but this sweetness reminds me of a nice body cream, hence the milky note, making you feel cozy and comfortable with Unique Woman. It is cuddly and slightly fresh at the same time, as if you just stepped out of the bath, or comparable to baby scent.

Unique Woman is perfect for all occasions; you definitely can't go wrong with it. It does not come across as intrusive, giving an "well-groomed impression." You just have to give it time and not be put off by the top notes. Because then you will definitely be rewarded. A fragrance that surprises, positively! It's a pity that it doesn't last very long (about 4-5 hours), and the sillage could be stronger for my taste.

I find it quite sweet, and the sillage shouldn't be any stronger. But it's not a powerhouse, that's true. Actually, it's just right. *g*

Unfortunately, I only have the EDT as well, and I only realized afterward that the scent is also available as an EDP. I asked myself the same question about whether the EDP version has better longevity and sillage :)))))))
