A blind buy, as I was immediately convinced by the appearance that I had a dupe of Trésor Midnight Rose in front of me, which I really like. No tester in sight, but well, 2.99€ doesn't really hurt. Besides, I was incredibly curious.
The scent starts with a sharp alcohol note. Once you get past that, after drying down, you can clearly smell sweet red berries, with raspberry being the dominant note. Rose and vanilla emerge. On the wrist, the scent even smells quite appetizing, and I am positively surprised. A sweet, floral, berry, fruity gourmand with a hint of vanilla. The scent itself is nice and does indeed have a resemblance to Trésor Midnight Rose. Unfortunately, it doesn't come close to the rich, intense scent of the original. BUT!!!
The intensity is lacking. There are perfumed body lotions that are stronger. It leans a bit towards a perfumed body spray.
The longevity is also lacking. After 3 hours, the scent has almost completely faded. On fabrics, it may last a bit longer.
In overall performance, the original is clearly superior.
The bottle, especially the cap, feels very cheap. Every time I take off the cap, I fear that I will pull the spray head out of the bottle with it. However, there is a small black fabric rubber band with a purple rose attached, which looks quite cute.
But for those who don't have the money and want to smell nice, this is a good option, as the scent never becomes unpleasant or sharp. At this price, it should be clear to everyone that it is a synthetic mix that will never match the longevity of natural materials. Here, you probably just have to take the bottle with you and regularly reapply when you're on the go. Nevertheless, in terms of pure scent, it is very well done and quite wearable, without ever becoming annoying.
For girls who like to try out their mom's makeup and dresses, the scent can also serve well for dress-up play at this low price.
I myself will manage to finish the bottle, as I can definitely enjoy the scent. I've already received compliments from male friends. But I don't necessarily need to repurchase it.
As someone with allergies, I had no complaints here at all.
Who says that you don't have the money to buy an expensive fragrance and have to resort to this one? I find that quite a strong assumption. I can easily afford scents that cost ten times as much, including Trésor Midnight Rose. It's just a bit too intense for me, while Purple Rose is the softer option.
