i have been circling
Now Women for some time now. The similarity to
Her Eau de Parfum or
Her Elixir de Parfum was to blame, as it is constantly said to be.
In short, for those who only want to know, I think it's definitely more similar to
Her Elixir de Parfum - it has that creaminess, that over-sweetness; what I'm sure many would describe as "synthetic". The two are related, but not twins. Cousins, definitely.
If you already don't like the two Burberrys: the
Now Women tends not to appeal and is more likely to fall into the "headache" category.
However, if you like these syrupy-sweet, pink-fluffy and Arabian musky fragrances, then this can definitely be a good match.
In the opening (be careful, 10 seconds of alcohol), the orange comes out first for me. However, it quickly shares its place with red fruits, of which I would most likely associate strawberry. It all happens quite quickly, then the fragrance is already as it remains. A bright, yet very rich, syrupy jasmine note joins in, while I perceive lily of the valley more in the background. Vanilla and musk really step on the gas in the fragrance, moss remains my big question mark here. All in all, marshmallow (or rather pure sweetness) results in a creamy, powdery, floral-fruity fragrance that is actually very pink. And well... it's very sweet. I don't see a milkshake as often described here, similar to "Yara | Lattafa / لطافة". Both lack that RIGHT lactonic quality.
But I don't actually find that negative. I see it wonderfully in spring or on cool summer days. It's perfect for everyday wear or warm evenings, for a date or a night out. For me, it clearly exudes feminine vibes. I actually see it more on younger women - or in moments when you just want a little Barbie feeling.
