Roberto poured the whole sugar bowl in.

Um... are we talking about the same perfume?

I was really looking forward to trying the first Cavalli fragrance for women (according to Wikipedia). I like his fluffy, cozy scents. And the reviews certainly set some expectations.

So, a few spritzes... waah, what is that? At first, I only perceive a very piercing unpleasant smell. The apple, perhaps?
After 2 minutes, this fades away, and now I smell nothing but sweetness... unpleasant sweetness, because it's just too much. I can't even say what it is. A floral-fruity indefinable something. way too cloying and too sweet. Not much changes in the scent development. The base notes make it a bit woodier. But the sweetness stings and scratches in the nose. I'm not really surprised that production was discontinued. Sweet scents can be wonderful, but too much is too much. I'm waiting in vain for the fruity-refined aspect :(

What a pity, I was so excited to have gotten a bottle. Apparently, the scent develops completely differently on me than on my predecessors.

This bomb is only wearable, in my opinion, by very young girls at sub-zero temperatures.

Longevity is OK. The scent lasts well, even with just a few spritzes, but it's rather close to the body. Fortunately, I don't perceive it as too strong.

I'm really a bit disappointed. If the scent weren't quite so sweet, I would definitely like it. I generally like sweet fragrances, but here it's really too much.

You either tried a different fragrance or it had already gone bad; the Cavalli is not sweet at all!
