Very helpful Review
"The Promise in the Dawn"
is the name of the fragrance translated. Sounds great... I had to test it, especially since I find this bottle really classy.
The scent starts off zesty and fresh with citrus notes, which ones I can't quite identify, very intense, almost piercingly lemony.
Fortunately, other, softer and warmer fragrance components join in, taking away the initial "sharpness" of the perfume. At first, there's a hint of jasmine, very subtle, light, and buoyant. Yet, nothing here reminds me of a dawn.
But then it becomes creamy - Ylang-Ylang, sandalwood, tonka bean with a touch of vanilla blend into a warm potpourri. No trace of the fresh citrus notes remains. Now it reminds me more of a sunrise, bathing the world in a warm, orange light with its first rays.
After the somewhat unsuccessful opening in my eyes, it does become a harmonious perfume, where the individual notes complement each other well. Over time, it appears very elegant to me, truly very classically "ladylike".
For me personally, however, the scent is not an option, even though the bottle with the classic bust would certainly look good in my bathroom. :)
On one hand, I don't particularly like Ylang-Ylang, and this fragrance is carried by that note, and on the other hand, the price is simply too high for me, even though I appreciate the craftsmanship of the bottle designer and the perfumer.

Besides, for that price, the scent should last 3 weeks! And who wants to smell like the same perfume for 3 weeks anyway? ;-)
