Summa summarum... Penicillin.

No birch, no oak, no maple, no Orangina, no pastry shop, no gummy bears.

To me, Battito d'Ali, the wingbeat, smells like penicillin.
I had a streptococcal infection twice as a child. Sore throat, difficulty swallowing, quite a wonderful experience.
For that, however, I received a rather tasty red liquid from the doctor.
Penicillin.
And that is exactly how this fragrance smells.
Sweet, a bit sticky, and above all synthetic. At the beginning, I can at most sense the orange blossom, the rest is a sweet jumble.
No, I don't think unisex fits here at all. But it's hard to imagine someone older than 15 wearing this. Hm. But it's a matter of taste, right?
A little later in the otherwise rather sparse fragrance development, a rather powdery cocoa note actually comes in, but it’s not the cocoa drink, rather the cocoa used for dusting, for example, tiramisu. At this stage of the fragrance development, Battito also pulls back a bit, becoming almost quiet.
The rest is actually quickly explained, a bit floral, and in the end, a hint of vanilla remains.
I couldn't find the myrrh; apparently, it was forgotten in my version.

All in all, the fragrance is hard for me to wear; I find the association with penicillin the most fitting. By the way, there was also a cough syrup that smelled similar... but I’ve forgotten the name.
Although PR fragrances are quite expensive, this one doesn’t even seem particularly high-quality; I think that’s due to the really overpowering top note.
I leave this test a bit perplexed.
On to the next one.

I found it very nice with orange. Of course, tastes vary. I've already tested several from the line-super quality!

I found it uncomfortably sweet, really just sweet.

I think I've tested that one too and found it too sweet, even though I usually enjoy gourmand scents.

No, I definitely don't want to smell like that either, and 15 is long behind me. ;.) Thanks!

That really hurts when one of your favorite scents is perceived that way :-) But I’ll be strong and keep wearing it, even at over 50! I just hope I’m not triggered now and have to think about penicillin :-(

Ah yes, those penicillin syrups - I often enjoyed them during my constant tonsillitis as a kid ^^ I can totally relate. The scent is kind of sweet-bitter *nod*

Yesss, I remember that stuff too. Or something similar. I recall it being pink. "Sigaprim" or something like that.
